Silenced: International Journalists Expose Media Censorship Hardcover - 2005

by David Dadge

What happens to journalists who expose uncomfortable truths? "Silenced" answers this and other questions regarding censorship with the stories of journalists who risked their careers so that the public might be informed.


From the publisher

What happens to journalists who expose uncomfortable truths? How far are journalists prepared to go in order to report a difficult story? "Silenced" provides answers to these questions with the stories of journalists who risked their careers so that the public might be informed.
From China, where Jasper Becker, formerly Beijing bureau chief of the "South China Morning Post," fought a lonely and unsuccessful battle against owners willing to soften the newspaper's reporting of the Chinese government in the hope of protecting mainland investments, to Zimbabwe where the harsh treatment of the "Guardian"'s Andrew Meldrum led to him being arrested and forcibly deported from the country because he dared criticize President Robert Mugabe, "Silenced" is a forcible reminder of the risks - both personal and financial -- accepted by the media on our behalf. Elsewhere, in other parts of the world, journalists face more traditional problems, whether it is the pressure placed on journalists Gary Hughes and Gerard Ryle when highlighting police corruption in Australia, or the aggressive tactics employed by the Belgian authorities against "Stern" magazine's Hans-Martin Tillack for exposing a financial scandal at the heart of the European Union.
When faced with the threat of censorship, all of these journalists reacted in a similar manner -- they chose to report and face the consequences. They decided to place the ethics of journalism above all other considerations. As such they are proof that press freedom cannot exist without those who are willing to uphold its fundamental principals. "Silenced" is more than a book on the media; it is an expression of the bravery and persistence of journalists everywhere.

Media reviews

"…interesting and comprehensive and offers compelling insights into the struggles and persecution faced by international journalists, as well as the methods used to uncover truths. Silenced reads like a psychological thriller too engrossing to put down complete with police corruption, drug trafficking, murder, embezzlement and war. It is a story of briefings and press releases, unwritten newsroom rules, unpopular editorial decisions and (ineffective) freedom of information laws. It is about protecting sources or facing jail time. It is about silencing and unsilencing and the risk of both. Most importantly, Silenced is about the horror of seeing it all and the power of reporting it."
- Clamor
"This hard-hitting collection shows that pressure and persecution are still inescapable aspects of a journalist's job description ... a vigorous defense of press freedoms by journalists who are unafraid to confront the powers that be."
- Publishers Weekly
