Project Censored’s Top 25

Project Censored has released its top 25 censored stories for 2017-2018 (2019 is available for sale as a book). Among the interesting ones:

The Florida Parkland High School shooter was a member of the school’s Junior Reserve Office Training Corps and was taught to shoot surplus military weapons by something called the Junior Marksmanship Program.

Solutions journalism” is a relatively simple idea to offer solutions along with coverage of problems to avoid “negative news overload”.

Natural systems such as rivers are being given legal rights and even personhood in some places.

Regenerative agriculture is an idea to sequester carbon by restoring soil and vegetation on a large scale.

Cell phones might be causing miscarriages.

Also, Russia may be up to no good but at the same time the exhaustive coverage of it may be distracting us from other important issues. Opioid drugs continue to kill a lot of people. And the rich are getting richer. But I don’t think these really qualify as “breaking news” for those who have been paying attention.
