Critics Review

“Project Censored sets the standard for the Fourth Estate, shedding light on important stories that would otherwise remain obscure and allowing citizens to demand justice and solutions.”
—Ted Rall, syndicated cartoonist and columnist


“[Censored] should be affixed to the bulletin boards in every newsroom in America. And, perhaps, read aloud to a few publishers and television executives.”
—Ralph Nader


“Project Censored is a lifeline to the world’s most urgent and significant stories. The Project’s list of the top stories … should in fact drive the reporting agendas of every major news outlet.”
—Naomi Wolf

“Whereas the mainstream media poke and peck at noteworthy events at single points in time, often devoid of historical context or analysis, Project Censored seeks to clarify understanding of real world issues and focus on what’s important. Context is key, and many of its ‘top censored’ stories highlight deeply entrenched policy issues that require more explanation than a simple sound bite can provide.”
—San Francisco Bay Guardian
