THE RABID
MEDIA
WATCHDOG
In the spirit of Project Censored's annual list of Top 10 censored news stories, here's the local equivalent, as compiled by The Free Press staff. You may recognize some of the stories from the pages of past Free Press editions. Others have been researched by us but have not been the subject of full-blown articles.
By the time you get to the end of our list, you will probably understand what inspired University of Washington communications Professor Don Pember to say a few years ago: "Seattle is a sleepy town. The newspapers aren't very aggressive. I don't know why that is."
Short of launching into explanations for this non-aggression, here's our list of stories that you should have heard more about in the mainstream print and broadcast media in 1993, but didn't.
10. Corporations Push to Burn Hazardous Waste

8. Labor Issues Take a Back Seat
7. Indians? What Indians?

4. Hanford: Up to its Old Tricks
3. The Uncommon Commons Debate
