Introduction by Noam Chomsky New edition of this highly influential annual collection of news stories that have been censored or ignored by the mainstream media as part of their dumbing down of the news and the fact that decisions on what gets covered are made increasingly by bottom line-driven corporate executives and not by journalists. Essential for all journalists, those involved in media studies and anyone simply interested in the truth.
