Project Censored is a media research group out of Sonoma State University which tracks the news published in independent journals and newsletters. From these, Project Censored compiles an annual 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.

They just released their report on the “Top 25 Censored Stories of 2008″ , which is a hell of a read. Did you know Dick Cheney’s Halliburton stock rose 3,000 percent last year? I didn’t. Must be all those detention camps KBR’s been hired to build in the US.

Knowmore’s goal, throughout 2007, has been to create a corporate profile on each of the global Fortune 500. Our site re-design took a bit longer than expected, so we’ve extended our deadline a bit: Our goal is now to have every company covered by March.

Check the project page to see our progress! Like 99% of Knowmore’s pages, it can be edited by anyone with a login. Once you have created an account, click on one of the companies.

If there isn’t already a profile of that company, you will be prompted to create one. Select “company profile” from the list. Even putting in the company name, location and a one paragraph description of what the company does helps a lot to get the ball rolling!
