Media Watchdog
The Media Watchdog program works to improve media messages about size, weight and beauty by empowering consumers to advocate for change. We are all consumers of the media and we can all speak out to educate industry leaders about the impacts of their messages and encourage companies to send healthy media messages. Support current Watchdog actions, notify NEDA about praise or protest-worthy ads, and learn how to be a media activist!
Notify NEDA of Praise or Protest-Worthy Media
- Fill out this short form to notify NEDA staff.
- NEDA staff and volunteer Watchdogs review the submissions.
- NEDA will send email notification within one week if your submission is selected for direct action by NEDA.
Note: Due to the volume of media action requests, NEDA cannot respond to all items, and we encourage Watchdogs to use our interactive Media Watchdogs Forum to chat, let others know about your actions items, and get new updates on action items from NEDA.
Become a Critical Viewer of the Media
The work of changing the media means recognizing and celebrating advertisements that send healthy body image messages, as well as taking the time to express our concerns about advertisements that send negative body image messages or promote unrealistic ideals. Learn more.
