Censored: The News That Didn't Make the News and Why: The 1996 Project Censored Yearbook, 20th Anniversary Editionby Carl Jensen and Project Censored
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The 1997 edition of Censored contains 25 articles judged by America's top journalists and citizen advocates as the most important — and most underreported — stories of the year. Although the 1997 list won't be finalized until January, examples of 1996 exposes include: -- An article cowritten by Ralph Nader that exposed the Telecommunications Deregulation Bill as a politically bought piece of legislation that paved the way for huge concentrations of media power -- A Mother Jones investigation of a radical plan to dismantle the FDA by a Washington think tank with direct access to Capitol Hill power brokers -- A story in The Nation about the corporate buyout of huge segments of the Internet and the implications for free speech in cyberspace In addition to the top censored stories of the year, the 1997 yearbook includes "Censored Deja Vu", censored stories from past years that finally made it into the mainstream press; "Junk Food News", a sampling of stories that passed for news; and a listing of alternative publications that cover the underexposed news of America. "Offers devastating evidence of the dumbing-down of mainstream news in America. Required reading for broadcasters, journalists, and well-informed citizens". — Los Angeles Times Book News Annotation:The annual featuring of the top 25 censored news stories of the year
presented in synopsis and with commentary by the original authors as
a public service of Project Censored. In addition to the selected
stories, the volume features censored stories from the past that have
finally received media coverage, a review of "junk food news", and
the top ten censored books of the year. An introduction by Walter
Cronkite lends supreme journalistic approval to this "tip sheet" on
the important stories that the public doesn't see.
