Censorship: A Beginner's Guide

by Julian Petley - £9.99  Oneworld Publications (2009)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781851686742 | ISBN 10: 1851686746

When we think of the word "censorship", we imagine blacked out words and authoritarian political regimes of the past. However, censorship is alive and well today, and just as pervasive in capitalist democracies as repressive regimes.
 
Offering a potted history of the phenomenon from the execution of Socrates in 399BC to the latest in internet filtering, Petley provides an impassioned manifesto for freedom of speech.
 
Also explaining how media monopolies and moguls censor by limiting what news/entertainment they impart, this is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in global media in the information age.
