David Brody: Wins Sol Stetin Award for Labor History
The Sidney Hillman Foundation Journalism Awards honor journalism that explores the issues of social and economic justice. The award categories for 2008 include: Books (non-fiction), Newspaper Reporting, Magazine Reporting, Broadcast Reporting (television and radio), Photojournalism, and Blogs. The 2008 awards are given for work produced, published or exhibited in 2007.
Each winner is provided travel to the awards presentation, a statuette, and a $5,000 prize.
Submissions were judged by a distinguished panel including Hendrik Hertzberg, senior editor, The New Yorker; Susan Meiselas, independent photojournalist; Harold Meyerson, columnist, Washington Post, Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor, The Nation, and Rose Arce, an award-winning producer at CNN. Past award winners include author Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, The Wall Street Journal, CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley, NPR, Business Week, and Time magazine.
The Sidney Hillman Foundation has been granting awards since 1950 to journalists whose work explores and exposes the pertinent issues of our time, providing the evidence and inspiration to spur action and movement toward a more just society. Each year, the foundation also grants the UNITE HERE Officers’ Award to a public figure or organization which has made a difference. And it awards the Sol Stetin Award for Labor History to a labor historian whose work furthers our understanding of the working-class experience in America.
