Dahr Jamail's articles "Fallujah refugees tell of life and death in the kill zone," and "Unusual weapons used in Fallujah" published by IPS, December 2004, have been chosen for the #2 story on Project Censored's list of Top 25 Censored News Stories of 2004-05, to be published in our yearbook of undercovered news, Censored 2006.
Project Censored is a media research group that tracks the news published in independent journals and newsletters and annually compiles a 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. The list is published in an annual book.
This year's book entitled “Censored 2006” features the work of Dahr Jamail as contributing to the #2 (Media Coverage Fails on Iraq: Fallujah and the Civilian Death Toll) and #7 (Journalists Face Unprecedented Dangers to Life and Livelihood) biggest stories the mainstream media ignored over the past year.
The October awards ceremony provides an opportunity for authors to meet with public, media, other journalists, and publishers and to present and discuss the issues surrounding their articles.
