Project Censored is an American nonprofit media watchdog organization.[1] The group's stated mission is to "educate students and the public about the importance of a truly free press for democratic self-government."[2][3][4]
Project Censored produces an annual book, published by Seven Stories Press and the Censored Press, and a weekly radio program. Both the annual books and the weekly radio programs, as well as public events sponsored by the Project, focus on issues of news censorship, propaganda, free speech, and politics.
Project Censored was founded at Sonoma State University in 1976 by Carl Jensen (1923-2017).[5] Since 2010, Mickey Huff has been the group's director.[6] It is sponsored by the Media Freedom Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 2000. The organization is based in Fair Oaks, California.
