The journalists John Carlos Frey and Nick Turse have been named winners of the sixth annual Izzy Award for outstanding achievement in independent media. The Izzy Award is named after legendary maverick journalist I.F. Stone, who launched I.F. Stone’s Weekly in 1953 and exposed government deception, McCarthyism and racial bigotry. The Park Center for Independent Media says it chose John Carlos Frey for “tirelessly probing the increasingly militarized U.S./Mexico border and rise in fatal shootings by U.S. Border Patrol agents … sparking congressional inquiry, criminal probes, federal investigations and changes in the Border Patrol’s training and use-of-force protocols.” Nick Turse, the author of the book “Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam,” was honored for “[giving] human form and voice to civilian victims of U.S. wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan.” Two past honorees, journalists Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill, were also named the first members of the new I.F. Stone Hall of Fame meant to recognize “the new generation of Izzy Stones.” The awards will be presented at a ceremony next month.
