Using music as a loophole, The Uncensored Playlist is an initiative for sharing news stories in censored countries through platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.
By transforming stories into songs with unsuspicious titles and artwork, the initiative aims to get the work of censored journalists across the border, into people’s playlists. Just like other pop songs, the music spreads through word of mouth, turning breaking stories into hits.
We developed the online platform to help promote the initiative on the open web, raising awareness not just for the individual stories, but also for the bigger story of Cyber Censorship.
