The Fertel Foundation and The Nation Institute are now accepting applications for two Ridenhour Prizes, which recognize individuals whose acts have protected the public interest, promoted social justice or illuminated a more just vision of society. Nomination deadline is 1 December.
Two awards will be presented in memory of Ron Ridenhour - a journalist, whistleblower, truth-teller and social activist who died in 1998.
The Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling will be awarded to a whistleblower, an investigative journalist or an organization that has recently brought an important issue to light, and the Ridenhour Book Prize will be given to an author who in the view of the judges best reflects the legacy of Ridenhour.
