Accuracy In Media (AIM) is an American organization which monitors the news media in the United States. Founded in 1969 by Reed Irvine, at the time an economist with the Federal Reserve, AIM describes itself as "a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage". It commonly attacks what it sees as liberal bias in the media. In spite of AIM's claim of political neutrality, many mainstream media sources and liberal media watchdog groups such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting refer to it as a conservative organization.

AIM openly maintains many ties to conservative groups and is known for criticizing journalists with accusations of leftist bias, but rarely (if ever) levels claims of conservative bias against reporters or news organizations. Its positions on issues would also usually be classified as conservative: AIM editorialized in support of Nicaraguan Contra leaders such as José Francisco Cardenal. It also supports the Committee for a Free Afghanistan, a US group that has backed the Afghan rebels beginning in 1981, notwithstanding the fact that many of the Afghan mujahideen rebels would later form the Taliban. Also supported are Augusto Pinochet, who was called a savior of Chile, and the group often quotes from the fringe right-winged The Epoch Times on issues regarding China, instead of any main media sources.

AIM publishes a bimonthly newsletter called the AIM Report, of which Irvine is the editor. In these newsletters Irvine often encourages subscribers to write to people or organizations urging them to change their policies.
