Virtual Library Opens Inside Minecraft To Share Banned News Stories

Reporters Without Borders has found a radical new platform for broadcasting banned journalism in some of the world's most repressive countries: Minecraft.



The advocacy group has created an online space with a dedicated server for the game of video that is popularly known as 'The Uncensored Library,' accessible to all of Minecraft's 145 million monthly users.



Inspired by the neoclassical architecture of ancient Rome and Greece The library will be filled with books that contain the text of news stories that were censored in their countries of the source.



The Uncensored Library is a new virtual library in Minecraft that was created by Reporters Without Borders to host the work of journalists who are banned or restricted in their countries of origin.

The library will include stories from five countries that are at the bottom of Reporters Without Borders’ World Press Freedom Index. These include Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam.



The stories will be published in English and whichever language they were originally written in.



The stories' text cannot be altered or edited, but anyone with access to the Minecraft server hosting the library can read the stories.
