HaAyin HaShevi'it

HaAyin HaShevi'it (Hebrew: העין השביעית, lit. The Seventh Eye) is an Israeli website that investigates and discusses media in Israel.

The organization is run by Shuki Tausig, Oren Persico, and Itamar Benzaquen.[1] The organization originally was published by the Israel Democracy Institute and started off as a print magazine, before going fully online. The editorial staff appealed to the public for financial support in 2015.[2] Today, the publisher remains an independent NGO that was founded by the site's staff and some of the frequent contributing writers. The publisher joined a new independent group in 2022.[3]

The publication received the Sokolov Award,[4] the first time the award had been given to an independent NGO.[5]
