Project Censored is a nonprofit media watchdog organization in the United States. The group's stated mission is to "educate students and the public about the importance of a truly free press for democratic self-government."
Project Censored produces an annual book 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. Past editions of the yearbook were published by Seven Stories Press.
Project Censored was founded at Sonoma State University in 1976 by Carl Jensen (1929-2015). Since 2010, Mickey Huff has been the group's director. It is sponsored by the Media Freedom Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 2000. The organization is based in Ithaca, New York.
