Project Censored – författare

Mainstream media are becoming increasingly unreliable as a source of news stories needed to keep people informed of the important events happening around the world, as they offer what sells best, not what informs most. For those who demand reliable information, this resource guide provides the most extensive listing of independent, progressive and activist media currently available, filled with information on contacts, subscriptions and Internet access to the uncharted world of independent media, activism and investigative news.

The book that has proven itself to be instrumental in pushing under-reported stories into the mainstream returns with the year's 25 most important underreported news stories, alerting readers to the deficiencies in corporate media. This year's edition also includes a chapter on the public relations industry in the U.S. and its effect on the American media, plus a chapter on censorship in times of war and a chapter on international censorship, written by the Index on Censorship. Also includes a full resource guide and updates on independent media.

Every year since 1976, Project Censored, our nation’s oldest news-monitoring group—a university-wide project at Sonoma State University founded by Carl Jensen, directed for many years by Peter Phillips, and now under the leadership of Mickey Huff—has produced a Top-25 list of underreported news stories and a book, Censored, dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship. Seven Stories Press has been publishing this yearbook since 1994, featuring the top stories listed democratically in order of importance according to students, faculty, and a national panel of judges. Each of the top stories is presented at length, alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the stories. Beyond the Top-25 stories, additional chapters delve further into timely media topics: The Censored News and Media Analysis section provides annual updates on Junk Food News and News Abuse, Censored Déjà Vu, signs of hope in the alternative and news media, and the state of media bias and alternative coverage around the world. In the Truth Emergency section, scholars and journalists take a critical look at the US/NATO military-industrial-media empire. And in the Project Censored International section, the meaning of media democracy worldwide is explored in close association with Project Censored affiliates in universities and at media organizations all over the world. A perennial favorite of booksellers, teachers, and readers everywhere, Censored is one of the strongest life signs of our current collective desire to get the news we citizens need—despite what Big Media tells us.

Did you know that over a thousand communities in the US are experiencing lead contamination at quadruple the rates found in Flint, Michigan?
