America's oldest news-monitoring group, Project Censored, refreshes its longstanding yearbook series, Censored. This edition offers a more succinct and comprehensive survey of the most important but underreported news stories of 2020; in addition to a comparative analysis of the current state of corporate and independent news media, and its effect on democracy. The establishment media sustains a decrepit post-truth era, as examined the lowlight features: 'Junk Food News' - frivolous stories that distract the public from actual news - and 'News Abuse' -important stories covered in ways that undermine public understanding. The alternative media provokes a burgeoning critical media literacy age, as evaluated in the highlight feature: 'Media Democracy in Action' - relevant stories responsibly reported on by independent organisations. Finally, in an homage to the history of the annual report, the editors reinstate the 'Deja vu News' feature - revisited stories from previous editions. Censored 2021 endows readers with the critical thinking and media literacy skills required to hold the corporate media to account for distorting or censoring news coverage, and thus, to revitalise American democracy.
