In the era of “fake news”, “politically correct” and redacted public documents, the availability of “free press” is at risk. Through the prism of banned books this panel will examine and discuss censorship in today’s society. In a country where we take for granted the availability of media – what we read, hear and see, it is shocking to discover how many things never get to market. In association with Grove Atlantic Publishing and the American Library Association, this panel will present the issues and, with the community, explore the solutions.

Seating is limited, and will be given on a first-come basis. Only complete parties will be seated.
