THE COLLAPSE OF JOURNALIST INTEGRITY

Kristina Borjesson is an award-winning investigative reporter in print, television and radio and internationally known for blowing the whistle on US mainstream journalism outlets for censoring the truth on major stories and for being purveyors of false official-source narratives.  She has the distinction, arguably, of being the most repeatedly censored network TV producer of her generation, having had three networks kill sensitive stories they’d assigned to her, including two stories on the crash of TWA Flight 800 and on who created and disseminated the false narratives to manufacture consent for the Iraq war. At CBS, she won an Emmy and the Murrow award for her work on the documentary “Legacy of Shame,” about migrant farmworkers in America. Kristina has authored several books. Her first was “Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press,” an anthology of first-person accounts by accomplished journalists writing about being censored. The book won the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Media Criticism and the Independent Publisher’s Gold Medal Award in the Current Events category. Her book “Feet to the Fire” about the media after 911 was the basis for documentaries aired on PBS and France’s Canal Plus. She  independently wrote and directed the feature-length documentary, “TWA Flight 800” in which six high-level whistleblowers from the government investigation of the crash of a jetliner that exploded off the coast of New York in 1996.  The show was the Epix Channel’s highest rated program ever at the time it aired. Borjesson currently hosts the award-winning show, “The Whistleblower Newsroom” on the Progressive Radio Network which airs every Friday at 10 am.
