Created by the Columbia Journalism Review, the Campaign Desk was created to "straighten and deepen campaign coverage almost as it is being written and produced."
Using the Web to provide more timely review of campaign coverage the site is updated frequently with comments, criticism, and reflection on the days political coverage.
According to the site, "The Desk is politically nonpartisan; its only biases are toward accuracy, fairness, and thoroughness. Its focus is not on what politicians say and do, but on how the press is presenting (or not presenting) the political story to the public. It will monitor not just news reporting, but also political analysis and commentary, assessing the accuracy of the facts behind the argument and the fairness of the framing. It will be a resource not only for conscientious journalists, but also for all citizens who want the best possible version of a free press at a time when it matters most."
