[font size=2]Top 25 Most Censored Stories of 2013-2014

The presentation of the 2013-2014 Top 25 stories extends the tradition originated by Professor Carl Jensen and his Sonoma State University students in 1976, while reflecting how the expansion of the Project to include affiliate faculty and students from campuses across the country has made the Project even more diverse and robust. During this year’s cycle, Project Censored reviewed 237 Validated Independent News stories (VINs) representing the collective efforts of 260 college students and 49 professors from 18 college and university campuses that participate in our affiliate program.

Where citizens once could point to journalists as the fourth branch of government who ran interference between us and those in power by turning over a few rocks and at least making an effort to keep us informed, now they are all joined at the hip.

Elizabeth Warren is right, "the game is rigged and it's rigged in favor of those who have money and who have power."
