If your company buys programmatic advertising from Sky Media, it may be worth checking with them about the risk of your brand ending up on GB News campaignlive.co.uk/article/gb-new…
We’re aware of at least one company who say they were unaware that they were going to appear on GB News and suspended those ads when they found out. Worth checking if you buy ads from Sky Media: ==> stopfundinghate.info/2021/06/14/gb-…
Many thanks to everyone who's contacted @CoopUK so far to encourage them to rethink their alignment with GB News. We also wanted to highlight that @CoopUK are wholly separate from @CooperativeBank - so far we have only seen GB News ads for the former! #DontFundGBNews
If to be ‘woke’ is to be anti-racist, then by branding themselves an ‘anti-woke’ TV channel, GB News seem to be making their intentions quite clear... #DontFundGBNewstheguardian.com/media/2021/jun…

Our friends @slpng_giants_fr are facing legal threats from two notoriously toxic news outlets following the massive success of their campaign to defund hateful media in France.

CNews & Valeurs Actuelles may not like it, but the companies we shop with care what their customers think. And the public has every right to speak out & urge brands to stop advertising with these toxic channels... /2 huffingtonpost.co.uk/richard-wilson…
While attacking our friends @slpng_giants_fr, Valeurs Actuelles also make quite an admission: "The outrageous methods used by the Sleeping Giants have met with great success"...
They're lashing out because these campaign tactics work 👏👏👏/3
If you've wondered why the UK news industry has such a problem with institutional racism, it's worth remembering that the industry's Editors Code guidelines have a whole section spelling out that comparing African migrants to "cockroaches" is acceptable: editorscode.org.uk/downloads/code…
The UK news industry has specifically gone out of its way to ensure that articles which are "discriminatory against gay people in general, autistic people in general or transgender people in general" are permitted under its "Editors' Code": ipso.co.uk/news-press-rel…
In its decision to permit the publication of articles that are discriminatory towards entire groups of people, the UK news industry has put itself directly at odds with international standards for ethical journalism. For example the IFJ charter: ifj.org/who/rules-and-…
#StopFundingHate has had a *lot* of requests to help identify any companies advertising on GB News. We have a brilliant team of research volunteers ready to go, and will be sharing advertiser info under the #DontFundGBNews hashtag when the channel launches standard.co.uk/insider/gb-new…
Concerns over the threat of "Fox News style" media standards being imposed in Britain have been exacerbated by reports of a plan to install ex-Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre as chair of Ofcom: theguardian.com/media/2021/jan…
