Project Censored's State of the Free Press 2024 - Andy Lee Roth

Descriere Project Censored's State of the Free Press 2024 - Andy Lee Roth

As the United States grapples with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the nation's living legacy of systemic inequalities, and partisan threats to the foundations of democracy, the integrity of news--the focus of Project's Censored's work and this book--has never been more important. \nState of the Free Press 2024 continues Project Censored's tradition of publicizing the most important stories ignored or obscured by the news establishment, exposing the lies and spin of corporate Junk Food News (frivolous stories that distract the public from actual news) and News Abuse (important stories covered in ways that undermine public understanding) while promoting the best independent journalism, research, and activism. \n \nThis 2024 edition includes independent investigative reporting on issues and topics that reflect recurring patterns of indirect censorship in corporate news coverage, where the outlets failed to provide the coverage and context that these stories deserved based on their social significance and relevance to current political and cultural debates. Most importantly, this edition helps endow readers with the critical media literacy skills required to hold power to account for distorting or censoring news coverage. \n \nState of the Free Press 2024 is a joint production of The Censored Press and Seven Stories Press.\n
