‘The censors are insatiable’ | Adam Szetela on how ‘sensitivity readers’ captured publishing
There is more than one way to burn a book. In the modern publishing industry, books are censored, edited or scrapped entirely to avoid straying from woke dogma. ‘Sensitivity readers’ scour for words, characters and plot lines that could cause offence to minorities. ‘Morality clauses’ ensure that authors espouse the correct views in public. The result is books that are bland, predictable and utterly safe. Here, Adam Szetela – author of That Book is Dangerous! – lifts the lid on how the publishing industry itself became the enemy of literature.

The Muhammad cartoons that shook the world | Flemming Rose
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Flemming Rose. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked
Twenty years ago, Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, sparking protests, riots and boycotts across the Muslim world. Clashes outside Danish embassies led to at least 200 deaths. Flemming Rose was the culture editor who commissioned the cartoons. Here, he explains why we must fight for the right to draw Muhammad, why we must never bow to Islamic intolerance and why self-censorship is the greatest enemy of free speech.
