TheInternational Middle East Media Center (IMEMC) is an independent news organization run byPalestinians living in theState of Palestine, working together with international journalists, who report on events in bothIsrael and theState of Palestine.[1] The IMEMC is published in English, whilst briefly providing Spanish coverage in 2008, supported by volunteers, though this was stopped due to lack of funding.[1]
Starting as a single section of thePalestinian Centre for Rapprochement between People (PCR) website in 2002 called “Pal Media Alert”, it gained its own identity when founded as its own entity in 2003 when its own separate website was created[2] underGhassan Andoni.[3] IMEMC was created as the PCR upon reviewing international media found many international sources didn't send journalists into Palestine but that they had them stationed inJerusalem reporting from information from theGovernment Press Office.[2]
"The IMEMC sought to connect media activists worldwide with thenonviolent resistance movement inside Palestine. In 2008, the IMEMC connected with community radio stations, social movements, and media activists across several conti‐ nents to produce Radio Free Palestine'.[4]
As of 2021 IMEMC has been a project that is supported by the American-basednonprofit organizationIf Americans Knew.[1]
