In the midst of Trump's attacks on the media, comes this look at the rigorous, independent reporting of the year's most underreported news stories. While the country's president displays a brazen disregard for the First Amendment and routinely demonizes the press as "the enemy of the people," Censored 2020 looks beyond Donald Trump's dizzying contempt for the truth to clarify the corporate media's complicity in misinforming the American public--while also providing a clear vision of a better future, based on rigorous, trustworthy independent reporting that presents a fuller picture of truth. With a discerning eye, Censored 2020 focuses the public's attention on the most important but underreported news stories of 2018-2019. These stories expose the corporate news media's systemic blind spots while highlighting the crucial role played by independent journalists inproviding the kind of news necessary for informed, engaged citizens.The book also examines this year's lowlights in "junk food news" and "news abuse"--furtherrevealing how corporate news often functions as propaganda--as well as highlights of exemplaryorganizations that champion "Media Democracy in Action." Additional chapters address theimportance of constructive journalism, the untold story of Kashmir, news coverage of LGBTQissues in the Trump era, "fake news" as a Trojan horse for censorship, and online memes as aform of political communication.
