Office of Censorship  

Definition(s)

  • The Office of Censorship (OC) was established by an executive order of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 19, 1941, just 12 days after America entered World War II. Its task was to oversee all civilian radio broadcasts and print media, both within the United States and across U.S. borders, to ensure that no information was transmitted or dis-seminated that might be of use to America’s enemies.
