Project Censored
- Saturdays, 5:00pm–6:00pm
Project
Censored Mission is to educate
students and the public about the importance of a truly free press for
democratic self-government. We expose and oppose news censorship and we
promote independent investigative journalism, media literacy, and critical
thinking.
An informed public is crucial to democracy in at least two
basic ways. First, without access to relevant news and opinion, people
cannot fully participate in government. Second, without media literacy,
people cannot evaluate for themselves the quality or significance of the news
they receive. Censorship undermines democracy. Project Censored’s
work—including our annual book, weekly radio broadcasts, campus affiliates
program, and additional community events—highlights the important links among a
free press, media literacy and democratic self-government.
