Join Project Censored and contributors to the 2013 edition of Censored: Dispatches from the Media Revolution in celebrating the new book’s publication. The event is free and open to the public.
From signs of an emerging police state, to NATO war crimes in Libya, and education “reform” as a Trojan horse for privatization, Censored 2013: Dispatches from the Media Revolution features Project Censored’s annual list of the top 25 underreported news stories for 2011-2012, and it analyzes underlying patterns in those stories in the form of Censored News Clusters.
Censored 2013 acclaims the importance of independent journalism for democratic self-government, and it holds to account the corporate media for their failure to provide the public with complete, relevant news coverage.
The book’s additional chapters include original analysis on drones and targeted killing, “GuatánamoSpeak,” the democracy movement in Kashmir, corporate education “reform,” the status of Iraqi refugees, the 1970 Kent State massacre, and the global network of the ruling 1%. Each chapter deconstructs the official narratives and propagandized news frames featured in corporate news coverage. Censored 2013 also includes the latest on Junk Food News and News Abuse, and updates from last year’s top censored stories.
Published by Seven Stories Press, Censored 2013: Dispatches from the Media Revolution is available now directly from Project Censored. It is available in bookstores around the country on October 30, 2012.
No Lies Radio (http://noliesradio.org/) will live stream the event on the Internet.
