Censored 2019: The Top Censored Stories and Media Analysis of 2017-2018

â€œFor more thanforty years, Project Censored has been our watchdog on the establishment media, casting its eye on how the information that we receiveâ€“â€“and donâ€™t receiveâ€“â€“shapes our democracy. We need it more than ever today!â€
â€”Christopher Finan, Executive Director, National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC)

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE STORIES PRESENTED INÂ CENSORED 2019:
--â€œOpen-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 â€œBlack 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 CANâ€™T 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?
Havenâ€™t heard the news? Neither did the rest of the world. Thatâ€™s because these and countless other news items are suppressed or ignored by our nationâ€™s â€œfree pressâ€ every day. For the past forty-three years, Project Censored has been unearthing the buried stories that corporate media deem unfit to printâ€”and debunking the â€œfake newsâ€ governments and corporations use to consolidate their powerâ€”to promote well-informed citizen action and critical media literacy.
This yearâ€™s Project Censored yearbook features:
-- â€œVetting Free Speechâ€ by Sally Gimson, Layli Foroudi, and Sean Gallagher
-- â€œ#TimesUp: Breaking the Barriers of Sexual Harassment in Corporate Media for You and #MeTooâ€ by Julie Frechette
-- â€œData Activism through Community Mapping and Data Visualizationâ€ by Dorothy Kidd
-- â€œHow Mainstream Media Evolved into Corporate Mediaâ€ by Peter Phillips
-- â€œCampusâ€“Newsroom Collaborationsâ€ by Patricia W. Elliott
-- â€œThe 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 â€œfake newsâ€ blues, holding the corporate media to account for its negative bias, propaganda for wealth and power, and outright censorship.
