The New Censorship: How the War on the Media is Taking Us Down
Author: Ayala Panievsky
Format: Hardcover
A study of how the media's self-censorship in the face of populist politics threatens democracy. Drawing on empirical research and a decade under populist power in Israel, former journalist Ayala Panievsky argues that today's press has inadvertently strengthened the anti-democratic forces it covers.
Rather than banning stories, the populist right floods the conversation with disinformation, bots and smear campaigns, weaponising liberal norms so people censor themselves. She traces how we got here and what journalists and audiences might do to restore the public's right to know.
