THE National was launched almost 10 years ago against a backdrop of concern around Unionist bias in Scottish media. Providing an alternative to that is at the core of everything we do. 

As the only newspaper in Scotland that advocates for Scottish independence, we know Scots continue to feel that democratic deficit in the media, and we think it is a fundamental duty of ours to call out bias and disinformation. 

Whether its the political imbalance of a panel on Question Time, clear prejudice against Scottish independence or republicanism, or the silencing of minorities in society, we keep an eagle-eye on news coverage across the country and stand prepared to bring instances of unfairness into the spotlight.

Some of the big media stories we've covered this year include BBC host Kaye Adams reading out a text comparing the SNP's General Election slogan to the rhetoric of the Nazis, GB News under the Ofcom microscope, and the media regulator allowing Channel 4 to spend a disproportionate amount of its budget in England.

We can assure you not a week goes by without us updating you on the top media stories, as we have a weekly Media Watch newsletter to ensure no bias from any outlet goes unchallenged.
