20 Years of Censored News

Based on the work of Project Censored, the national media research project, 20 Years of Censored News reveals, year by year, the top censored news stories from 1976 to 1995.

A disturbing report card of the media’s long-term performance, 20 Years of Censored News provides rigorous documentation of the national news media’s failure to keep the public informed.
