Fahrenheit 451
Author:
Ray Bradbury
Source:
Book
The entire book is about the burning of books. How the government tries to control the thinking of the people but not allowing them to read certain books. A few people hide out and have memorized some famous works in order to perserve them.
Great example for censorship.

Business is business

"Adaptation is intrinsic to the reality of doing business around the globe. Brands and products must be adapted and trade-offs made." (para 2)
"As for Microsoft, its primary role is to sell software and other products in the context of the political environments in which it operates. It is preferable that it concentrates on selling its products. In so doing, it makes the trade-off between accepting potential damage to its brand, in the longer term, by being perceived as kowtowing to a non-democratic regime, but benefiting by satisfying the needs of Chinese consumers." (para 5)

Good Source.

BALANCING FREE SPEECH AND CENSORSHIP: Academia's Response to the Internet.
Authors:
Peace, A. Graham1 Graham.Peace@maol.wvu.edu

Communications of the ACM; Nov2003, Vol. 46 Issue 11, p105-109, 5p
"Should institutions of higher learning allow this material to be easily perused through on-campus labs and dormitory Internet connections? A conflict exists between the rights of students and faculty to free speech and privacy, and the obligation of universities, parents and society to restrict access to information deemed unsuitable for our youth. The communal nature of academia further complicates matters. Controversial information is often accessed in computer labs, potentially exposing other computer users to information they may find offensive." (105)
Good Source. Make sure to go over this article again. Reread and look thru. It will help when talking about College Censorship. Also gives another twist to the paper.

WHY THEY KEEP ON LYING.
Authors:
Pringle, Peter

Index on Censorship; Apr2004, Vol. 33 Issue 2, p108-111, 4p
Mostly the article talks about how a reporter went to talk to a leading Tobacco Company. The company got scared and wouldn't see the reporter.
This article many be able to help if I want to do a twist with smoking and how there is even censorship of health information and such.

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!

Von Leyden, James

Index on Censorship; Apr2004, Vol. 33 Issue 2, p101-105, 5p, 3bw
"The choice for the consumer is not so much whether to buy or not to buy based on price and quality, but on whether they identify or don't identify with the brand." (102)
"As long as the cleverest people go into advertising rather than activism, advertising will remain one step ahead." (105)
Very interesting article. Make sure to go back and look thru it again when writing the paper. It may be able to take the paper to a different angle with the talk of advertising. How "advertising nowadays is not about lies and truthfulness but in-jokes, stunts and a sense of belonging." (101)

"Aside from the censorship itself, Google offers China users an uncharacteristic lack of disclosure on the removed content. It notifies U.S. users, for in-stance, when copyrighted content has been removed from searches. In China, Google doesn't disclose the modifications." (para 3)
Good source. Not the most informative. Might be able to use quote but its very similar to other articles.
