Free Press Wins Project Censored Recognition

We have recently received word from Project Censored of Sonoma State University that the article "Disobeying Orders" in the Sept/Oct 2002 issue of the Washington Free Press is one of the top 25 censored stories to be announced this year. The award goes to writers Glen Milner and David Mann, and their article deals with pollution by the US military in violation of federal rules. Milner says the article was indeed censored by the mainstream media, because he pitched the article first to the Seattle Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and the Los Angeles Times. Milner wants the Free Press to receive part of the credit: "I want you to know your work is very important."

Despite the smaller regional circulation of this paper, Free Press writers have often landed high honors in Project Censored's annual list, which is dominated by articles from larger national progressive magazines.

Project Censored reports that some 900 news stories were nominated for Project Censored awards this year. Over 150 faculty and students at Sonoma State University reviewed the stories and voted on them in April. All of the top twenty-five stories have since been forwarded to national judges for final ranking. A synopsis of Milner and Mann's article will appear in Chapter one of the book Censored 2004: The News That Didn't Make the News, scheduled for release in August from Seven Stories Press.
