CENSORS in THE PRESS

‘Comment is free’, 30 June 2014

Let us hope that the admirably honest George Monbiot, with his huge following, can get this subject the attention it deserves. Regular readers have seen almost everything in his Guardian blog post on Monday here on post-Gutenberg.com — and his concluding sentence, two years ago, in ‘Censorship by the Press‘. We wrote that after some frustrating months of drawing attention to this problem:

  2. That’s wonderful to know, kind William. Sharing the pleasure of looking at the best ones is often the biggest incentive — or possibly, goad — to posting at all. The bargain: no text, no messing around with images! Yours is the first public comment the pictures here have ever had, and MIL22’s have certainly deserved innumerable garlands.
