Our Mission

Empowering Democracy,

Exposing Truth, and Transforming

Societal Narratives

Shomrim – The Center for Media and Democracy is Israel’s only
independent, nonprofit investigative news organization whose unique
model works in cooperation with for-profit media outlets in order
to generate change. Established in December 2019, its mission is to
strengthen Israeli democracy through investigative journalism that
holds power accountable and dives deeply into stories that might
otherwise go untold. In an era inundated with information, the
imperative for unbiased, in-depth reporting, especially concerning
issues of importance to underserved communities, has never been
more critical.
Shomrim stands as a beacon of journalistic integrity and commitment
to the public’s right to know.

Shomrim was born in turbulent times, but 2024 pushed us
further than ever before. Through war, political crisis and deep
societal rifts, we held our ground, proving that independent journalism
is not just necessary—it’s indispensable.”
Eyal Abrahami, Shomrim Editor-in-Chief
