“First they came for the journalists. We don’t know what happened after that.” – Maria Ressa
Project Censored, in their latest book, takes the pulse of the media, highlights the most underreported stories of the past year, and exposes corporate manipulation of the news.
State of the Free Press 2024, brings together some of the most incisive media critics to expose the impact of corporate money and political influence on the press, highlights the top 25 most underreported stories of the past year, and profiles those brave journalists who continue to fight for a media that is free of both for-profit benefactors and political agendas.
This book comes at a time when trust in the media is at an
all-time low.
