20 Years of Censored News Carl Jensen See book keywords and concepts

But it wasn't until 1993 that an investigative reporter, Eileen Welsome of the Albuquerque Tribune, made it a national issue and won a pulitzer prize for her work. One major factor contributing to media self-censorship is that some stories are considered potentially libelous. Long and costly jury trials, settlements out of court, and occasional multimillion dollar judgments against the media, have produced a massive chilling effect on the press and replaced copy editors with copy attorneys.

Her coverage of the war in Afghanistan had attracted international attention and her editors at The Journal were planning to nominate her for the pulitzer prize. Instead, by late fall, Walsh had resigned in fury and frustration from the Journal. The story she had been working on—the expose of shamefully deceptive coverage of the Afghan war by CBS—had been killed by the Journal. "I was sold out," Walsh told Erwin Knoll, editor of The Progressive, in an interview.

Author Eileen Welsome's three-part investigative series for the Tribune won her a pulitzer prize.

The Post piece came out the first week in April 1994, and the phones were ringing off the hook. Luckily, this time, it wasn't just my phone but Dave Flockhart's.

Ernest Becker won the pulitzer prize for The Denial of Death, which argued that our whole lives are organized around fear and denial of death.
