Every year, a group of student, faculty and community experts based at Sonoma State University selects the top 25 most important stories that were largely ignored by the mainstream media. The result is the Project Censored Yearbook.
electric snow:
peter phillips: Reason #1. Tendency for mainsteam media to not want to run stories that offend their major advertisers. #2. Main stream systems downsized after mergers. There fewer journalist and news people covering much broader territories. Foreign corrensondents have become almost non-existent. #3. Few Journalists means that those remaining become dependent on Public Relations sources for stories. Half to 2/3s of the news today is prewritten or prespun by a PR flack working for Government of Corporations. #4. Media focuses its systems on the uppermiddle class. This means that stories are selected and edited to appeal to people with money who will buy products that the media advertisers are selling. Newspapers have become a "product" with a target demographic audiance. Stories are selected to appeal to that demographic. #5. Movement of media from being and information source to an entertainment source. News is entertainment. Stories are selected for their fear, titulation and sitmulation qualities.
