Why You Should Support Project Censored

For over 36 years now, 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. Our latest book, Censored 2013: Dispatches From the Media Revolution, 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 and Twitter pages, and our Media Freedom Foundation Daily News Feed site which aggregates independent news from many of the most reliable sources around the world…We are also working closely with filmmakers Doug Hecker and Christopher Oscar to finish an epic endeavor- Project Censored: The Movie- in early 2013!
Project Censored is the oldest media watchdog research group in the US with a specific focus on education and media literacy. We are involved in an ongoing and growing collaboration with the college and university affiliates program through Media Freedom International. We 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 last several books contained work from over 20 affiliates, with some 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.
We 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 non profit foundation grants, your individual support is more vital to us now more than ever.

Media Freedom Foundation Project Censored Report by the President: Peter Phillips 2012-2013

Media Freedom Foundation (MFF) is a non-profit 501-C-3 corporation that sponsors Project Censored and all our various programs. MFF has a ten-person board of directors, who are responsible for monitoring the budget and setting policy for our operations. Mickey Huff is the director of Project Censored and has overall responsibility for the day-to-day management of the corporation and production of the annual Censored yearbook. Associate Director Andy Roth serves in a similar administrative capacity and has been heavily involved in writing and researchingCensored 2013.We each are regularly invited speakers at community halls, college campuses, academic conferences, and independent bookstores addressing the issues of media censorship, propaganda, and the importance of accurate independent media in society. To arrange for a member of our speaking team to come to your community or campus see:http://www.projectcensored.org/speakers/We produce and broadcast a weekly one hour Project Censored Show on The Morning Mix for KPFA radio every Friday at 8 A.M. PST at 94.1 FM and online at Http://KPFA.org/. Our affiliate stations include the Progressive Radio Network, No-Lies Radio, and various Pacifica radio stations around the country. Please ask your local public/ non-profit radio station to air our weekly shows. See http://www.projectcensored.org/radio-archive/ for a listing of our shows and guests. The radio archives make excellent classroom listening for high school and college classes.We currently have some twenty colleges and university classes and professors participating in researching and posting validated news stories on our Media Freedom International news site at http://www.mediafreedominternational.org/. Validated Independent News Stories (VINS) are news stories ignored by corporate media that have been vetted and researched by students and professors. These news stories are posted year-round and become the annual nominations for voting on the top 25 most important censored news stories of the year. Any college campuses can participate in this process. Teaching college classes, working with students to learn about alternative news outlets is a major part of our efforts to create a more media literate society

MFF/Project Censored continues to maintain a website with daily RSS-news feeds from some twenty sources we trust for quality news. See http://www.censorednews.org/ Helping students and the public find trustworthy sources of daily news is an important part of freedom of information that is vital to every society. Reading independent news and comparing it to corporate media coverage is an important part of many high school and college critical thinking classes.

Adam Armstrong continues this year as the webmaster for all the MFF/Project Censored websites including our Spanish language site at http://www.proyectocensurado.org/. He has responsibility for maintaining and protecting six websites and building traffic to each one. Unique views on our sites run some 400,000 each month with millions of monthly hits. Adamfounded the website blog— http://www.dailycensored.com/, which has over 50 regular writers posting news stories and opinion. He is a vital part of the Project Censored team.

We are pleased to announce that MFF board member, Abby Martin of Media Roots was hired this year to be a Russia Today news anchor in Washington DC. In addition to her duties at RT Ms. Martin remains on the MFF board, and continues to update video content on the Project Censored linked Media Roots site at: http://mediaroots.org/.

Over the past two-years MFF/Project Censored has engaged in developing the idea of a fair share of the common heritage. With special funding from Dorothy Andersen in Santa Rosa, California in honor of her late husband Alfred Andersen’s beliefs, MFF has held public events, organized essay contests, produced radio shows, and maintained a website the links the importance of acknowledging that all material and cultural wealth/resources in the world belongs to all living beings. MFF board member Mary Lia has served as coordinator for this effort. Kenn Burrows MFF board member and holistic health professor at San Francisco State University has worked in supported. For full information of the philosophy of the fair share of the common heritage see: http://www.fairsharecommonheritage.org/.

MFF/Project Censored is primarily affiliated with colleges, universities, independent media and social justice organizations. In this capacity, we are constantly writing, researching and promoting important human rights issues and news. For example, we have posted an original four part series on the privatization of public education by investigative journalist Danny Weil: http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/the-financialization-of-education-and-sonoma-state-university-part-iv/. Also see Dr. Jeremy Cloward’s original article http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/the-state-class-and-false-consciousness-within-the-american-working-class/ and Dr. Peter Phillips recent op-ed piece http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/desperate-times-demand-revolutionary-measures/ and Dr. Andy Lee Roth’s book review of Arundhati’ Roy’s “Walking with the Comrades,” http://www.fairsharecommonheritage.org/2012/04/05/popular-resistance-against-indias-war-on-commoners/

These efforts and others too numerous to list are part of our annual activities at Media Freedom Foundation/ Project Censored. We currently do all of this on less than $80,000 a year. In addition to annual revenues from book sales and royalties, we primarily receive support from individual donors from around the world. A new option this year has been for donors to pledge $5 or more a month and in return receive a copy of our annual yearbook. Please consider making a monthly pledge by going on-line at www.projectcensored.org. If you are affiliated with a non-profit foundation or can make a larger gift in support of one or all of our activities we would sincerely appreciate hearing from you.
