    Project Censored examines censorship in our society, something which goes on in places like Japan and the U.S. every day.  If the mass media does not provide us with  all the information, how can we  make  informed decisions concerning our own  lives?  Here you  will find the  top 20 censored stories of the year, as  determined bystudents, faculty and guest judges of Sonoma State University in California.
