Palestinian Media Watch (PMW; Hebrew: מבט לתקשורת פלסטינית) is an Israel-based nongovernmental organization and media watchdog group.[3][4] Founded in 1996 by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch documents cases of incitement in Palestinian media.[5][6] It describes itself as "an Israeli research institute that studies Palestinian society from a broad range of perspectives by monitoring and analyzing the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks."[7]
