The Israel Project (TIP) is a prominent Israel advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., and with an office in Jerusalem. It was founded in 2002 by Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi. TIP focuses on providing information to journalists covering news stories in Israel. Its Jerusalem office offers helicopter tours for journalists.

[edit] Media products

TIP supplies fact sheets, background materials and sources for journalists, including articles and maps. TIP has also produced a series of television commercials. TIP provides reporters with facts and information on Israel for their stories. TIP's Jerusalem team features several Middle East experts and former journalists. They host media events and briefings and provide background and sources to international reporters assigned to Israel. Part of TIP's effort includes "intellicopter" tours for journalists and important visitors, which fly above the country, and hosted by Calev ben David.

The goal of TIP is to improve the image of Israel by helping journalists understand the country's society and security situation.

TIP offers paid media fellowships for thirty students "in journalism, political science, Judaic studies or public relations programs or those beginning their careers in journalism or Israel advocacy."[1]
