Poison PR Media Library

In an investigative reporting collaboration with Lighthouse Reports and other international media partners, The New Lede reveals the inner workings of a vast international campaign orchestrated by pesticide industry proponents to downplay pesticide dangers, neutralize pesticide critics, and promote policies that benefit makers of pesticides and genetically engineered crops. Some of the work, including the creation of critical profiles of individuals the pesticide industry sees as opponents, was financed in part by US taxpayer dollars, according to documents unearthed in the investigation. Many of the documents were obtained by Lighthouse Reports through Freedom of Information requests. The New Lede is making many of these documents accessible here. See the story here and here.
