Middle East Research and Information Project
The Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP) is a non-profit independent research group established in 1971, that has released reports and position papers on various
Middle East conflicts. Its most prominent publication is Middle East Report
, which is published both online and as a print magazine.
History
Originally started by a group of anti-
Vietnam war activists,[1] MERIP began in 1971[2] by releasing an irregularly scheduled six-page newsletter called the MERIP Reports. In 1973, the group began releasing the Reports on a scheduled basis. Joe Stork was the long-time editor of the Middle East Report.[3]
MERIP is partners with the independent publishing house Pluto Press. In a press release, Pluto described their shared interests: "the mission of both organizations is to empower and educate people with alternative viewpoints on such a contested and important area of the world."[4]
