| AdminHistory | Index on Censorship was formed in 1972 as a quarterly magazine by Writers & Scholars International with author and translator Michael Scammel as editor. Index on Censorship promotes free expression, publishing works by censored and notable authors from around the world, exposing suppressed stories, encouraging debate, and monitoring threats to free speech. The magazine covers a range of topics, including media ethics, the social impact of journalism, the history of journalism censorship, and journalism and politics.
LJMU's Journalism Department has a long-standing relationship with Index on Censorship, initiated by the now-Emeritus Professor Chris Frost in the early 2000s. This relationship has since strengthened with the establishment of the LJMU Tim Hetherington Fellowship in partnership with Index’s magazine and website, and has led to a series of teaching and employer engagement activities, including talks, guest lectures, and employability sessions. |
