“There’s no power for the people without journalism by and for the people,” assert Maya Schenwar and Lara Witt of the Movement Media Alliance, in Project Censored’s State of the Free Press 2026—an apt summary of the new yearbook’s focus. The 2026 yearbook celebrates Project Censored’s fiftieth anniversary, while tracking emerging threats to press freedom.
Highlighting the year’s most significant independent journalism—including original, investigative reports on ICE surveillance, Meta censorship, and police violence—State of the Free Press 2026 illuminates issues that the establishment press have obscured and raises voices that corporate media have throttled.
Balancing critical analysis with optimistic vision, the volume’s diverse contributors champion press freedom and critical media literacy to empower individuals and unite communities in the battles to hold the powerful accountable and defend democracy from authoritarian assaults.
“If knowledge is power, then this book will make you strong.”
—NORMAN STOCKWELL, publisher, The Progressive
“A tool for those who want to resist the transformation of reality into a feed.”
—ROGER CHAO, Open Forum (Australia)
