The Official Project Censored Show
We are Project Censored and after 40 years of creating an annual book showcasing media censorship we are bringing the fight to your ears and eyes. The Project Censored Show is a weekly public affairs program that discusses independent journalism, media censorship, deconstructing propaganda, and supporting a truly free press. The program focuses on “The News That Didn’t Make the News” and each week we conduct in depth interviews with guests and offer hard hitting commentary and analysis on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The views and opinions expressed on this program/podcast are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Project Censored. This broadcast is intended for educational purposes as part of our mission to promote critical media literacy, independent journalism, and democratic engagement. We aim to foster thoughtful dialogue and encourage listeners to think critically about the information they receive from all media sources. Project Censored is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and does not endorse or oppose any candidate for public office.
