What's new?
On this page you can keep up-to-date with censorship news through our monthly blog 'The Censor's Log'; and we'll list new resources as they are added to the site, like case studies or a censor for a day report.
Case studies
In this section you'll find case studies about classified publications. The publications (mostly films or games) have been chosen because they highlight a particular aspect of the censorship system such as public consultation (Out of the Blue) or films submitted by members of the public (Happy Feet).
