âFor more thanforty years, Project Censored has been our watchdog on the establishment media, casting its eye on how the information that we receiveââand donât receiveââshapes our democracy. We need it more than ever today!â âChristopher Finan, Executive Director, National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC)
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE STORIES PRESENTED IN CENSORED 2019: --âOpen-Sourceâ Intelligence Secrets Sold to Highest Bidders --ICE Intends to Destroy Records of Inhumane Treatment of Immigrants --Indigenous Communities around World Helping to Win Legal Rights of Nature --FBI Racially Profiling âBlack Identity Extremistsâ --The Limits of Negative News and Importance of Constructive Media
DID YOU KNOW THAT SINCE 1998 THE US GOVERNMENT SPENT $21 TRILLION IT CANâT ACCOUNT FOR? Or that Internet co-ops are mobilizing poor communities to resist net neutrality rollbacks? How about the health risks of wireless tech that cell phone companies have covered up, or the opiate crisis that Big Pharma knowingly unleashed? Havenât heard the news? Neither did the rest of the world. Thatâs because these and countless other news items are suppressed or ignored by our nationâs âfree pressâ every day. For the past forty-three years, Project Censored has been unearthing the buried stories that corporate media deem unfit to printâand debunking the âfake newsâ governments and corporations use to consolidate their powerâto promote well-informed citizen action and critical media literacy. This yearâs Project Censored yearbook features: -- âVetting Free Speechâ by Sally Gimson, Layli Foroudi, and Sean Gallagher -- â#TimesUp: Breaking the Barriers of Sexual Harassment in Corporate Media for You and #MeTooâ by Julie Frechette -- âData Activism through Community Mapping and Data Visualizationâ by Dorothy Kidd -- âHow Mainstream Media Evolved into Corporate Mediaâ by Peter Phillips -- âCampusâNewsroom Collaborationsâ by Patricia W. Elliott -- âThe Public and Its Problemsâ by Susan Maret
Plus Junk Food News, News Abuse, and Media Democracy in Action. In a time of decline in the rule of law and democratic safeguards, Project Censored offers a constructive alternative to the âfake newsâ blues, holding the corporate media to account for its negative bias, propaganda for wealth and power, and outright censorship.
