Studies show that US coverage is Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, Associated Press, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region. Below are news reports to augment mainstream coverage.

JTA
The Israeli Ministry of Tourism is launching a multi-year campaign encouraging travel to the country by Jewish and non-Jewish Americans. The marketing budget of $38 million for the campaign is more than double last year. The campaign will increase activities and partnerships with Jewish organizations, as well as joint efforts with other Israeli government ministries.
