Most Censored News Stories of 2001-2002

“We define censorship as any interference with the free flow of information in American Society,” stated Peter Phillips Director of the Project, “Corporate media in the United States is interested primarily in entertainment news to feed their bottom-line priorities…

Very important news stories that should reach the American public often fall on the cutting room floor to be replaced by sex-scandals and celebrity updates.” Project Censored has moved to a new cycle for the release of their annual censored stories. The Censored 2003 book will be released in September to bookstores nationwide
