VegMediaWatch is a watchdog group that aims to improve the portrayal of veganism and plant-based foods in the mainstream media by exposing anti-vegan bias and amplifying fair and accurate reporting.
The NY Post explains how factory farms harm animals, the public health and local communities. An op-ed writer for The Independent ridicules plant-based foods. The NY Times platforms food technology authors who explain how plant-based and cultivated meats benefit animals and the planet.
The NY Times normalizes a violent fishing expedition. The Guardian reports on the environmental impact of RFK’s meat-heavy nutrition guidelines. Travel & Leisure shares vegan-friendly travel destinations.
Please help VegMediaWatch thank three media outlets for reporting fairly and accurately on vegan issues. The Guardian covers meat substitutes that could help end animal agriculture, and BBC and Iowa City Press Citizen report on the health and environmental benefits of Veganuary.
Help VegMediaWatch combat anti-vegan bias in the mainstream media. The Daily Mail reports that pork is as healthy as legumes. The LA Times promotes carbon-emitting beef, despite the 2025 wildfires that burned down parts of the city. A Telegraph columnist with a personal vendetta unleashes on veganism.
Take action with VegMediaWatch. The Daily Mail disparages Veganuary and falsely claims that “plant milks could be secretly harming our IQ.” A prominent environmentalist calls for regulation instead of elimination of factory farms in the NY Times. And NY Magazine reports that veganism is on the decline without implicating the beef industry’s well-funded attacks.
Take action with @VegMediaWatch. A NY Times op-ed praises RFK’s pro-meat dietary guidelines as “very sensible.” The WSJ fails to mention the high cost of steak to the cows and the planet. The Guardian celebrates Veganuary.
Let’s hold CNBC accountable for shilling for Chick-fil-A and NBC L.A. for celebrating Pasadena Cheeseburger Week. And let’s thank Forbes for featuring “standout” plant-based products in support of Veganuary.
Let’s call out the NY Times and The Atlantic for writing steak prices and meat consumption without mentioning the planet and the animals. Let’s thank Food & Wine for reporting on the environmental benefits of plant-based mycoprotein.
Let’s hold ABC News, The Independent and LAist accountable. ABC reports that consuming high fat dairy products lowers the risk of dementia, but only people who read to the end will learn that the findings are unproven. LAist celebrates “pork roll” burgers without reporting that processed meats are a class one carcinogen. Using a misleading lead, The Independent gives readers the impression that plant-based diets are suboptimal for children.
Let’s hold Fox 5 DC accountable for vilifying plant-based burgers and UNILAD for exploiting animals for clicks. And let’s thank Current Affairs for shining a spotlight on slaughterhouse violence.
