Project Censored Seeks University/College Affiliates for Annual Censored Selection Process
Project Censored at Sonoma State University is seeking affiliate professors/classes to help select the annual list of the most important news stories not covered by the corporate media in the US. This is an excellent learning opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in this 32-year-old annual research process and vote on the final stories selected. The results of the annual selection process are published in the Censored yearbook. Censored 2009 from Seven Stories Press is scheduled for pre-release in September of 2008 for fall classes nationwide. Classes in any subject taught at colleges and universities can become Project Censored affiliates. Affiliate Responsibilities: Fall Classes 2008 Students in class search independent and foreign news sources for important news stories not covered in the US corporate media. Stories are reviewed in class and prioritized for importance to the American people. Students research the prioritized news stories for coverage in the US corporate media using the following databases (if available) Lexis- Nexis, Proquest, Google, and Factiva. News stories not covered by US corporate media are vetted by campus faculty or community experts for accuracy and credibility. News stories rated as accurate, credible and not covered by the corporate media are candidates for submission to the annual Project Censored vote process. Submissions: Classes would nominate 10 or more news stories by January 1, 2009 (early nominations encouraged) Nominations are to be submitted electronically as 200-300 word summaries of the news story with direct links to the original source URL. Summaries should include the names and contact information of the student researchers, and faculty/expert evaluators. All nominations will be posted on the Project Censored interactive website www.projectcensored.org for comment and review prior to the final vote in March 2009. All class participants and faculty/community evaluators would be eligible to vote on-line in March for final selection of the top 25 most important censored news stories to be published in the Censored 2010 yearbook (Fall 2009). The names of all students and faculty participating would be listed in the acknowledgments of the annual yearbook. Personal attributions for those individuals whose stories make the final list would also be published. Project Censored seeks to honor all nominations fairly, but reserves the right to do final edits, mergers, and analysis.
