Project Censored: 10 Stories of 2020 That Show Patterns in Corporate News - INDY Week:
I look forward to reading “Project Censored”. While the stories don’t shock me (sadly), they do often provide information that might otherwise have escaped me completely.
Every year since 1976, Project Censored has performed an invaluable service: shedding light on the most significant news that’s somehow not fit to print.
As its founder, Carl Jensen, wrote on the organization’s 20th anniversary, “The primary purpose of Project Censored is to explore and publicize the extent of news censorship in our society by locating stories about significant issues of which the public should be aware, but is not, for a variety of reasons.” Thus, the list of censored stories that’s the centerpiece of its annual book, State of the Free Press | 2021, doesn’t just help us to see individual stories we might otherwise have missed. It helps us see patterns—patterns of censorship, of stories suppressed, and patterns of how those stories fit together.
