“Today we mostly shut out news about our darker side, which is why
we need Project Censored. Someone has to remind us to look in the
mirror.”
—Matt Taibbi, author of Hate Inc., from the Foreword to State of
the Free Press 2021
“Project Censored has shined the light for more than forty years on
those critical stories and investigative reports that government
officials, major media companies, and assorted gatekeepers of
‘respectable’ journalism too often ignore.”
—Juan González, co-host of Democracy Now! and professor
of journalism and media studies at Rutgers University
“Project Censored continues to tell the important stories often
glossed over or ignored in establishment media. Their dedication to
delivering these hidden stories—especially when it comes to issues
surrounding access to education and the corporatization of public
schools—is to be applauded.”
—Jasmine Banks, executive director, UnKoch My Campus
“For many decades, Project Censored has championed the voices,
views, and stories that our profit-driven media system routinely
marginalizes for political and economic reasons. Now more than
ever, we desperately need such invaluable work of calling out
censorship—in all of its guises—if we are to have any semblance of
democracy in the United States.”
—Victor Pickard, author of Democracy Without
Journalism?
“At a time when freedom of expression is under enormous threat
around the world, with new attacks coming from new directions every
day, this book is essential reading.”
—Rachael Jolley, editor-in-chief, Index on Censorship
“Project Censored has been reporting uncomfortable truths for the
past 45 years, reminding the rest of us what nuts-and-bolts
journalism looks like. Honest. Unflinching. Well-documented. With
mounting threats to democracies around the world, we need books
like this one now more than ever.”
—Aaron Delwiche, professor of communication, Trinity College, and
editor of PropagandaCritic.com
