Where BECA graduate students & alumni make media
Focal Point: Episode 5
The US invasion of Iraq, based on what many consider be fraudulent evidence that lacked investigation by journalist outlets across the country, dented public confidence in the media. But according to Peter Phillips of Project Censored, a nonprofit organization that advocates free press rights in the US, the mainstream media has long been failing the public by neglecting to publicize countless critical stories. To highlight the issue, Project Censored has been publishing a much discussed and highly controversial Top Censored Stories of the Year list for decades.
In this episode of Focal Point, Peter Phillips joins host Adam Greenfield to announce Project Censored's top 5 censored stories for 2009. Peter also responds to the ongoing and high-profile controversy from across the media surrounding both the Top Censored list and Project Censored itself. How does Peter take on the industry's fire? Watch the episode to find out!
