The New Project Censored List Is Out

Project Censored compiles an annual list of stories that are un- or underreported in the traditional media.

From their About Us section:

Project Censored is a media research group out of Sonoma State University which tracks the news published in independent journals and newsletters. From these, Project Censored compiles an annual list of 25 news stories of social significance that have been overlooked, under-reported or self-censored by the country’s major national news media.
