The Project Censored Web Administrator Can Help You With Your Non-Profit or News Web Site

Hi,

My name is Adam Armstrong and I have been designing, updating, and moderating the Project Censored web sites for about 5 years now. Times are tough and non-profit organizations have been hit hard. That is why I’m offering my services to other non-profit organizations with or without a website that want help. I can design and create anything you desire, moderate, update, design logos, increase traffic, integrate and moderate Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites, create e-mail databases and send out mass newsletters and donation requests, and integrate easy donation buttons and advertising to bring in more revenue into your site. You name it I can do it. I have recently created and/or maintained these sites:
http://projectcensored.org/
http://dailycensored.com
http://mediafreedom.pnn.com/
http://www.mediafreedominternational.org/

I know that most non-profit and independent news organizations do not have the funds to pay the big bucks so do not worry too much about the price. I’m willing to negotiate a fair price and can work with any budget.

Please e-mail me at or

You can also reach me 24hrs on Skype at Nuati-Yacht and AIM at adamatempir3

PROJECT CENSORED INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES PROGRAM

Project Censored is adding University/College affiliates for the annual censored news stories selection process.  Any college or university class is eligible to participate.  This document is a tutorial on how to conduct and submit researched stories for nominations to the annual yearbook.  Occasional repetition in this document is intentional to insure that all issues have been adequately addressed.  Comments and feedback for improvements are strongly encouraged and most welcome.

Students in classes search independent and foreign news sources for important news stories not covered in the US corporate media. Stories are reviewed in class and prioritized for importance to the American people.

Students research the prioritized news stories for coverage in the US corporate media using the following databases (if available) Lexis-Nexis, Proquest, Google, and Factiva.  (Explanation to follow)

News stories not covered by US corporate media are then vetted by campus faculty or community experts for accuracy and credibility.
News stories rated as accurate, credible and not covered by the corporate media are candidates for submission to the annual Project Censored vote process and are posted on this site for public comment.  Stories can be nominated year round.  News story nominations for the annual yearbook selection process must have been published within the last 12 months starting in March 2008 and including March 2009. All nominations must be posted by March 15 each year.

Nominations are to be submitted electronically as 150-200 word summaries of the news story with direct links to the original source URL. Summaries should include the names and contact information of the student researchers, and faculty/expert evaluators.

Here is an example:

Hi Class.

Please send your synopsis to me making sure that you have the following in order:

1. Your Story number and Title
2. Student Researcher:  (followed by your name)
3. Faculty Evaluator: (the professor you had evaluate your article)
4. 150 word synopsis as per class discussion
5. Source(s) IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER,
a. title of article in quotation marks
b. author of article
c. publisher in italics, (name of magazine or website this article originally appeared in)
d. date of publication
e. url link for article (make sure it’s alive and links to your specific article)
* repeat this for each of the articles that were included in your original story packet.

Please go over this list and make sure your synopsis has all of the above before sending it me in a MS Word document.
Please put your story number in the subject heading of your email.

Here’s a formatting sample to follow:

#001 Congress Invested in Defense Contracts
Student Researchers: Leora Johnson and Michael Seramin
Faculty Evaluator:  Andy Merifield, Ph.D.
The investment portfolios of 151 current members—more than a quarter of Congress—had between $78.7 million and $195.5 million invested in companies that received defense contracts of at least $5 million in 2006.  The portfolios include holdings in companies paid billions of dollars each month to support America’s military in Iraq and elsewhere from the manufacture of aircraft and weapons to producers of medical supplies and soft drinks.  Investment in wartime contracts is bipartisan; in 2006 Democrats had at least $3.7 million invested in the defense sector alone, compared to Republicans’ $577,500. More Republicans, however, held stock in defense companies in 2006—28 of them, compared to 19 Democrats.

ANTONIA JUHASZ

Antonia Juhasz is a leading oil industry expert and critic who also specializes in international trade and finance policy. She holds a Masters Degree in Public Policy from Georgetown University, a Bachelors Degree in Public Policy from Brown University. She served as a Legislative Assistant to two United States Members of Congress, and has over a dozen years of work in the field. She is a passionate writer and speaker who conveys complex information in a manner that is both accessible and motivational to others.

She was the project director of the International Forum on Globalization in San Francisco, is a visiting scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies and Foreign Policy in Focus, and a fellow at Oil Change International.

Previous notable publications include The Bush Agenda: Invading the World One Economy at a Time in 2006, Alternatives to Economic Globalization: a Better World Is Possible, and the article “Ambitions of Empire: the Radical Reconstruction of Iraq’s Economy” for which she received the 2004 Project Censored award.

Publications carrying her work have included the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and theCambridge University International Relations Journal. She has been interviewed by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! and by Terry Gross of NPR.

Juhasz will be at Sonoma State to discuss her most recent work The Tyranny of Oil: the World’s Most Powerful Industry, and What We Must Do To Stop It. The book is described as “A worthy successor to ‘The Prize’… A riveting read with a bold blueprint for ending the madness,” by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s former EPA Secretary, Terry Tamminen.

Juhasz provides the hardest-hitting exposé of the oil industry in decades, answering today’s most pressing energy questions: Why are oil and gasoline prices rising so quickly? Where will prices go in the future? Who’s really controlling those prices? How much oil is left? How far will Big Oil go to get it? And at what cost to the economy, environment, human rights, worker safety, public health, democracy, and America’s place in the world?

Award-winning independent reporter and photographer, Dahr Jamail, will be at Sonoma State University on Thursday, November 13, 2008, to present his #1 ranked story, published in the Censored 2009 yearbook, as part of the Modern Media Censorship Lectures.

According to the investigative journalist, violence in Iraq has caused an exodus of almost 5 million people since 2003. Despite official claims to the contrary, more Iraqis are fleeing their homes than the numbers who are returning. Says one displaced Iraqi engineer, “There is no Iraq to return to, my friend. Iraq only exists in our dreams and memories.”

A former NY Times foreign desk chief calls Jamails reporting, “international journalism at its best.” Jamail writes for a wide number of press outlets including Inter Press Service, The Asia Times, The Nation, and Foreign Policy in Focus. He reports for Democracy Now! and the BBC, and is a special correspondent for Flashpoints radio.

Constance (CONNIE) FOGAL is the leader of the Canadian Action Party.
A lawyer, teacher, writer and politician, Ms. Fogal grew up in Saskatchewan and was educated at the University of Toronto, and University of British Columbia. Ms. Fogal taught in the Toronto public High School system and University of BC Center for Continuing Education. Called to the Bar in British Columbia in 1980, she practiced law as a sole practitioner in Vancouver B.C., first in the areas of criminal law and family law, and then primarily in family law.
Connie has always been a passionate defender of Canadian sovereignty and civil liberties. She believes that a major threat to Canadians now is the same threat facing the whole world. That is the environmental destruction of the globe arising out of the military destruction imposed by the United States on countries of its choice, including the permanent, deadly contamination of the soil and water and air by the use of depleted uranium in its munitions. In the best interest of Canadians first, and in the best interest of all the world, it is essential that Canada remain a powerfully sovereign state opposed to Canadian integration with the United States. Because of this, Connie has become an articulate critic of the North American Union (NAU) of Canada, USA, and Mexico and has written and researched extensively about the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement being forged among the three countries.

DESCRIPTION
In the fall semester, 2008, Project Censored and Sonoma State University hosts a biweekly series of lectures to examine the nature of information distribution in the United States and to consider the potential for censorship in the most powerful media system that has ever existed. The lecture series will provide a forum for some of the best investigative journalists in our country today, allowing them to give an “insider’s perspective” on the hard-hitting news reports that fell through the cracks of the corporate mass media.

There is a growing consensus among long-time journalists and media observers that the system of news distribution in the United States has become flawed to the point of crisis. The current state of “information overload” creates the potential for a new kind of censorship where information isn’t denied, but it is distorted with regard to “importance” and “relevance.” Commonly, stories with little impact are broadcast eagerly and repeatedly while events that will have deep and long-lasting consequences are relegated to the back page and a single, fifteen-second blurb.

While many brave, committed reporters continue to struggle within the mass media news organizations that exist today, some of the most accomplished journalists of our era have rejected the current system and are instead working within respected independent “alternative” press outlets not afraid to speak their mind. Tired of the self-censorship and second-guessing inherent in American newsrooms—these reporters have decided to tell the truth, as it presents itself, not according to what government officials and corporate owners find acceptable.

This one-of-a-kind lecture series is aimed, not at “blaming the media,” but at taking the time to examine the dysfunctions that plague the current system.

The goal of these lectures is to delve deeply into the common media systems; to expand and deepen the conversation about news prioritization, self-censorship, pressure from advertisers, and the role of influential players.

The lectures ask:
How are important events covered by the major media outlets?
Are there stories or subjects that are consistently left out?
Do mainstream media outlets have a “liberal” or “conservative” bias?
Do distortions in the current system rise to the level of censorship?


This lecture series fulfills Sonoma State University course SOCI 497.1

2007 Media Accountability Conference

About the Conference

Some of the finest examples of investigative journalism come not from our daily news but from independent journals and the researchers who place a higher premium on digging up important news than on making profits.

It is unfortunate that many stories of greatest consequence go unrecognized until it is too late to respond. For every work of journalism that sparks a transformation (like Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” or Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense") there are a hundred that do not - but ought to.

Each year, publishers, researchers and students of journalism gather at Sonoma State in California’s North Bay to present and discuss their reports and to critique the choices made among mainstream news outlets over the previous year.

This year’s Best of the Censored list honors the work of such journalistic notables as Robert Parry, Thom Hartmann, Jeremy Scahill and Greg Palast. Just as often though, it includes the work of the dedicated but unsung investigative researchers who simply have, as last-year’s honoree Jason Leopold tells us, “a passion for uncovering the truth.”

Who was there

Thom Hartmann is a three-time Project Censored-award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of 19 books in print in 14 languages, and the host of a national daily progressive radio talk show, now in its fifth year on the air. Thom has focused on a number of different topics including Corporate Personhood and, most recently, the Military Commissions Act.

Frank Morales is an Episcopal priest and activist in New York City. He is known for his articles about the Military Industrial Complex published by magazines such as Covert Action Quarterly and Global Outlook. In 2003, he founded the Campaign to Demilitarize the Police in NYC.

Will Potter is an award-winning independent journalist based in Washington, D.C., who focuses on how the War on Terrorism affects civil liberties. He has written for publications including: The Chicago Tribune, In These Times, The Texas Observer, The Washington City Paper, Z and Counterpunch

Fariba Nawa is an Afghanistan-American freelance journalist who grew up in Fremont, California and was born in Herat, Afghanistan. In 2000 she ventured into Taliban controlled Afghanistan by sneaking into the country through Iran. Her report Afghanistan Inc. (in Corp Watch) is one of the main resources used in different medias around the globe while debating effectiveness of reconstruction efforts.

Robert Parry is an American investigative journalist who has written for Associated Press and Newsweek, and broke a number of Iran-Contra stories. In 1995, he established ConsortiumNews.com as an online ezine dedicated to investigative journalism. Robert Parry has written several books, including Secrecy & Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq (2004).

Jeremy Scahill is an investigative journalist whose comprehensive analysis of the subjects he reports on has established him as a leading expert on several global issues. His most recent reports have focused on the rise of Private Military Corporations (such as Blackwater Inc) around the world.

Odette Wilkens is a New York attorney specializing in contract law. She became an animal activist after attending the AR2006 National Conference. She is co-founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Alliance formed in 2006 to educate the public about the dangers of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act and to defeat such legislation.

Tim Montague is an environmental activist and researcher based out of Chicago. Tim is co-editor of Rachel’s Democracy & Health Weekly with his father, Peter Montague. His articles on epigenetics and the Precautionary Principle are widely published online and in print.

Peter Byrne has received national, regional, and local recognition for investigative work, writing style, and in-depth profiles of politicians, grifters, grafters, and.. artists (for whom he has a soft spot).
Byrne’s story “Death, Maiming, Money & Muni” was a finalist in 2004 for the Investigative Award given by Investigative Reporters & Editors. This hard-hitting expose of San Francisco’s transit system also won first place for investigative reporting from the Association of Alternative Weeklies.

Media Map of Major Media Ownership and Governance

A board of directors is a group of individuals chosen by the stockholders of a company to promote their interests through the governance of the company. Board members in most legal jurisdictions have specific fiduciary duties, whereby they act for the benefit of others.

In the United States and most other industrialized countries the board hires a chief executive officer (CEO), President, and other professional managers to run the day-to-day operations of the company, while the board retains a high-level form of oversight. Typically corporate boards are involved in issues of ownership, strategy, financing, and mergers and acquisitions.

Corporate Media Ownership

The Project Censored team researched the board members of 10 major media organizations from newspaper to television to radio. Of these ten organizations, we found there are 118 people who sit on 288 different American and international corporate boards proving a close on-going interlock between big media and corporate America. We found media directors who also were former Senators or Representatives in the House such as Sam Nunn (Disney) and William Cohen (Viacom). Board members served at the FCC such as William Kennard (New York Times) and Dennis FitzSimmons (Tribune Company) showing revolving door relationships with big media and U.S. government officials.

These ten big media organizations are the main source of news for most Americans. Their corporate ties require us to continually scrutinize the quality of their news for bias. Disney owns ABC so we wonder how the board of Disney reacts to negative news about their board of directors friends such as Halliburton or Boeing. We see board members with connections to Ford, Kraft, and Kimberly-Clark who employ tens of thousands of Americans. Is it possible that the U.S. workforce receives only the corporate news private companies want them to hear? Do we collectively realize that working people in the U.S. have longer hours, lower pay and fewer benefits than their foreign counterparts? If these companies control the media, they control the dissemination of news turning the First Amendment on its head by protecting corporate interests over people.

Censorship Guide for Teachers

12 Ways To Use Project Censored In Your Classroom

from “Challenging Big Media News And Censorship” in the ACME Activities Guide (http://www.acmecoalition.org/)

1. “News” and “Censorship”: Beginning with definitions can be helpful. Have students define “news,” and make a list of topics THEY deem newsworthy. Compare their lists with what “news” they actually see, hear or read in various media outlets devoted to “news” – television, radio, print, the Internet. Then, have students define “censorship.” Ask them: Do we live in a society in which “news” is “censored”? Why might this be?
2. Media Ownership Chart: Most of our media sources are ultimately owned by a very small number of very large media corporations. Have students make a list of all the media they consume in a “typical” day – print media, television, video games, music, etc. Aim for a list of between 8-10 media examples. Then, ask students to research and chart who ultimately owns each media example. Use www.cjr.org and www.mediareform.net to help you and your students with questions of ownership, parent companies, etc.
3. Media “News” Journal: Have each student monitor or explore ONE specific news source in your community – a local television or radio news show, or a local newspaper (often owned by a large media corporation). Have students make a list of the 4-6 major news stories covered in their particular news source over a 1-2 day period, and then compare their findings in class. What do they observe about the nature of news in their community? Are the same sorts of stories covered across the spectrum? Is there some diversity of news coverage? What stories are of real importance to your students, and which seem irrelevant? Ask them: How do they suppose news stories are chosen by media outlets?
4. Censored News Stories – Research: Have students select a PC news story from the “Top 25” list and become an “expert” on the story, not only by reading the PC article, but by finding at least 3 other independent news stories about the topic. Then, have students write a short summary of the story, concluding with some thoughts about why that particular story might be on the “censored” list.
5. Public Presentation: Have students prepare and present a 5-7 minute speech to the classroom or community on their PC story, complete with a multimedia component if possible (PowerPoint, KeyNote, posters, a collage). Find public spaces for students to display their writing and work.
6. Critical Viewing: Have students watch and critique a “news” show, preferably one they have never seen before. Apply ACME’s “Questioning Media” principles, available for FREE download at ACME’s web site.
7. Critical Reading: Have students read and critique a daily newspaper or weekly news magazine, preferably one they have never read before. Apply ACME’s “Questioning Media” principles, available for FREE download at ACME’s web site.
8. Letters To The Editor: Have students draft and mail letters to the editor of their local newspaper highlighting what they have learned from their conversations and research.
9. Media Production - Radio Spot: Have students script and perform a 2-3 minute radio news story, complete with voice overs and sound effects. If possible, record the stories for public airing and send them to a local radio station.
10. Media Production – TV/Video Spot: Have students script, film and edit a 2-3 minute television news story. Send the VHS or DV copies of the stories to the local news station.
11. Class Visits: Invite a local television, radio, or print news anchor, editor, or journalist to class to talk about their own experiences as a news producer. Ask your visitor to consider engaging the claims made in PC re: media, news, and censorship.
12. Class Debate: Have students read some of the essays included with PC. Then, select a provocative question related to your study of media, news, and censorship. “Do we live in a censored news culture?” “Do Big Media corporations exercise too much control over U.S. news?” Have students prepare a position on the question, based on evidence from a variety of sources, and host a formal debate.

Project Censored Internships

Project Censored is a student-faculty media research project in its 31st year of operation at Sonoma State University.  The Project needs student interns to help with our research, writing, production and promotion. Of a book we publish yearly “Censored:  The News That Didn’t Make the News.” Student interns also post important news to our website, produce television documentaries, represent the Project on radio and in public presentations, and planning fundraising events.  1-4 Internship Units can be earned through Sociology, Communications Studies or other departments.  Interns work from 45-180 volunteer hours during the semester on one of the following teams.  All positions have training components for students to learn duties required.

Applications for teams can be picked up from Trish Boreta in the Project Censored Office (Stevenson-2087).  Phone 664-2500. E-mail:

What do we mean by censorship?

WHAT IS MODERN CENSORSHIP?

At Project Censored, we examine the coverage of news and information important to the maintenance of a healthy and functioning democracy. We define Modern Censorship as the subtle yet constant and sophisticated manipulation of reality in our mass media outlets. On a daily basis, censorship refers to the intentional non-inclusion of a news story – or piece of a news story – based on anything other than a desire to tell the truth. Such manipulation can take the form of political pressure (from government officials and powerful individuals), economic pressure (from advertisers and funders), and legal pressure (the threat of lawsuits from deep-pocket individuals, corporations, and institutions).

WHAT IS MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY?

In our view, the only valid justification for declining a news story is that in a medium limited by time and space, another news story was simply more important to the people of the community, whether local, national or international. While admittedly a subjective process, it is nonetheless, a process to be undertaken by the news people themselves (the investigative journalists and editors), NOT by the managers and CEOs of their “parent company.” No professional journalist or researcher should ever have to face the destruction of his or her career (or life) simply because they wanted to tell the truth. While no two people will always agree on what story is more important than another, a system where the working reporters and editors run the newsroom would at least provide a fertile environment for debate, dissent and critical thinking.

The growth of independent media and journalism in recent years shows that people throughout the world yearn to hold not only their leaders accountable, but their media sources as well. For that reason, the Project Censored research program continues, in its small way, to support and highlight those who tell the truth about the powerful (no matter the consequences) and are relentless in their quest to hold Big Media accountable for their decisions.

Support Project Censored

For 34 years Project Censored has been committed to bringing the most vital stories to public awareness with the belief that genuine democracy depends on freedom of the press. The new Censored 2010 yearbook has drawn international attention to some of the most important underreported stories of our times and we are researching many stories for our next book already. We continue to need your vital support of Project Censored as we transition and expand our work to bring forth the most important news stories of the year both in print and online.

Independent media, both on the local and national level, is at risk. This is just one of the reasons that Project Censored and the Media Freedom Foundation just gave Media Freedom Awards to the KPFA Flashpoints radio team at our recent book release celebration in Santa Rosa. Help us support the critical independent voices that cover the “news that doesn’t make the news.”

Project Censored is not only working on new underreported stories but spreading the word via our new Daily Censored website, Facebook page and Media Freedom Foundation PNN site which aggregates independent news from many of the most reliable sources around the world. We are also organizing the first Modern Media Dialogue Series to be held from February to May at Sonoma State University. This is the only university series in the United States devoted to dialogue and deliberation about the modern media.

Project Censored is also involved in an ongoing and growing collaboration with the college and university affiliates program through Media Freedom International. Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff not only continue to pursue censored media with this effort, but in addition there are also now over 30 affiliates with more on the way, including some from Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The 2010 book contains work from nine of the affiliates, with a few placing stories in the top ten. The MFI website will be a home base for affiliate work and continue to publish Validated Independent News stories and more detailed academic, investigative reports year round in the effort to combat censorship and the ongoing Truth Emergency in the United States and around the world.

As I begin my first year as Project Censored director I would like to personally ask each of you to consider a gift of support so that we may continue our work. Our project requires us to raise $150,000 every year and given the cutbacks in the California State system and on the Sonoma State University campus, your support is more vital to us now more than ever.

PROJECT CENSORED OVERVIEW

Project Censored was founded by Carl Jensen in 1976, and is a media research program working in cooperation with numerous independent media groups in the US. Project Censored’s principle objective is training of SSU students in media research and First Amendment issues and the advocacy for, and protection of, free press rights in the United States.  Project Censored has trained over 1,500 students in investigative research in the past three decades.
Through a partnership of faculty, students, and the community, Project Censored conducts research on important national news stories that are underreported, ignored, misrepresented, or censored by the US corporate media. Each year, Project Censored publishes a ranking of the top 25 most censored nationally important news stories in the yearbook, Censored: Media Democracy in Action, which is released in September. Recent Censored books have been published in Spanish, Italian and Arabic.

The Project works in cooperation with SSU academic classes Sociology of Media and Sociology of Censorship, where students earn credit for their research and participate in writing the annual yearbook. Additionally, Project Censored sponsors and supervises over 60 student interns a year who do in depth investigative research, sponsor campus events and speakers, and organize a series of Modern Censorship Lectures each fall semester. Students also participate in writing the Project Censored quarterly newsletter (circulation 9,000) and assist with maintaining the Project Censored website www.projectcensored.org, which receives over a million views a month from all over the world.

Between 700 and 1000 stories are submitted to Project Censored each year from journalists, scholars, librarians, and concerned citizens around the world. With the help of more than 200 Sonoma State University faculty, students, and community members, Project Censored reviews the story submissions for coverage, content, reliability of sources and national significance. The university community selects 25 stories to submit to the Project Censored panel of judges who then rank them in order of importance. Current or previous national judges include: Noam Chomsky, Susan Faludi, George Gerbner, Sut Jhally, Frances Moore Lappe, Michael Parenti, Herbert I. Schiller, Barbara Seaman, Erna Smith, Mike Wallace and Howard Zinn. All 25 stories are featured in the yearbook, Censored: The News That Didn’t Make the News.

Project Censored is administered through the SSU Sociology Department with financial support from the SSU Instructionally Related Activity Fund, School of Social Science, Media Freedom Foundation Inc. and donations from thousands of supporters around the country.
