Another website commemorating Banned Books Week--it indicts the news media for self-censorship, shortsightedness, and smoke and mirror reporting--the natural outcome of a culture of censorship. This is via Marylaine Block's September 29th, Neat New Stuff.
"Project Censored is 'a media research group out of Sonoma State
University which tracks the news published in independent journals and
newsletters' and 'compiles an annual list of 25 news stories of social
significance that have been overlooked, under-reported or self-censored
by the country's major national news media.'..." http://www.projectcensored.org/censored_2007/index.htm
