The Park Center for Independent Media is pleased to announce that this year’s Izzy Award will be shared by a publication and three journalists:
Earth Island Journal is being honored for highlighting the connections between environmental degradation, women and indigenous peoples; Laura Flanders for producing forward-looking media on a regular basis that investigate policies that drive racism, sexism, and economic exclusion; Dave Lindorff for uncovering the opaqueness of Pentagon accounts and bloated military budgets; and Aaron Mate for exposing the hollowness and hyperbole of the so-called Russiagate scandal. The public ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 15, in Emerson Suites, Ithaca College. All award winners will make acceptance speeches.
The Izzy Award is named in the memory of dissident journalist I. F. “Izzy” Stone.
