Highlighting the year’s most significant independent journalism—including reports on workplace fatalities, threats to water security, and social media censorship—Project Censored’s State of the Free Press 2025 illuminates issues that the establishment press have obscured and raises voices that corporate media have throttled.

Balancing critical analysis with optimistic vision, the volume’s diverse contributors champion press freedom and critical media literacy to hold the powerful accountable and to promote a more just and inclusive society.

Project Censored continues to shed light on so many under-reported stories—the news behind the news, exposing serious threats to press freedom that impact us all. They remind us of the dangers of looking away, and ensure that we cannot.”

Additional Praise for State of the Free Press 2025

“The team at Project Censored pulls back the curtain, and showcases the work of countless fact-finders and truth-tellers. Read this book to be informed, inspired, and activated.”

NORMAN STOCKWELL, Publisher, The Progressive

“Project Censored leads the charge in undoing the sleights of misinformation and exposing the cracks and fissures in the narrative firewall that empowers corporate governance to continue in its project of ruling a burning planet. Both by taking on the protection racket that is the corporate mainstream media, and by linking the disparate threads of stories from ordinary people around the world, Project Censored maps out the allied struggles that are crucial in making a just, equitable, and habitable planet of the only home that we have.”

DANBERT NOBACON, Chumbawamba

“Year after year, Project Censored continues to shine a spotlight on the issues that matter most to journalists who strive to uphold our First Amendment directive to act as watchdogs and protectors of democracy.”

HAGIT LIMOR, President, Society of Professional Journalists Foundation

“The task is huge: the public relations industry, government spin doctors, corporate hacks in the pay of billionaires—all polluting the public space with disinformation designed to keep the rest of us disempowered. Each year Project Censored returns to champion fearless, independent journalism and strike a blow for truth-telling.”

JONATHAN COOK, journalist, author of Disappearing Palestine, and winner of the Martha Gellhorn Special Prize for Journalism

“Our corporate-dominated media system needs scrutiny; this book not only highlights dozens of under-reported stories, but helps explain why corporate outlets might miss them, and why many informed citizens are turning to independent, non-conglomerated media sources.”

––JEFF COHEN, journalist, media critic, and author of Cable News Confidential

“Defending journalists’ freedoms is far more meaningful when journalists use them. Project Censored does vital work shining a spotlight on those who do and calling out those who don’t.”

SETH STERN, Director of Advocacy, Freedom of the Press Foundation
