Yearbooks, annuals, almanacs; Media studies

With the past news year characterized by whistleblowing, national security/secrecy, and the role of journalism in uncovering the censorship, there has never been a more timely moment for Project Censored and its annual yearbooks--long a fixture among indies, chains, online retailers, and academic and library accounts--to reach new audiences; there has been plenty of room for growth with the series, and the chance to reach an even more mainstream readership is ripe.

Every year since 1976, Project Censored, our nation's oldest news-monitoringgroup-a university-wide project at Sonoma State University founded by Carl Jensen,directed for many years by Peter Phillips, and now under the leadership of MickeyHuff-has produced a Top-25 list of underreported news stories and a book,Censored, dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news,but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship.

A perennial favorite of booksellers, teachers, and readers everywhere, Censored isone of the strongest life-signs of our current collective desire to get the news wecitizens need--despite what Big Media tells us.

Reviews for Censored 2015: Inspiring We the People

Whereas the mainstream media poke and peck at noteworthy events at single points in time, often devoid of historical context or analysis, Project Censored seeks to clarify understanding of real world issues and focus on what's important. Context is key, and many of its top censored stories highlight deeply entrenched policy issues that require more explanation than a simple sound bite can provide. -Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, San Francisco Bay Guardian Required reading for broadcasters, journalists, and well-informed citizens. -Los Angeles Times
