Muckrakers & Media Freedom: Celebrating the Izzy Award
About this episode
The episode celebrates Independent Media and press freedom with discussions on the Izzy Award and the challenges faced by journalists today.
This week on the program, we celebrate Independent Media and press freedom with Izzy Fest 2026 and the 18th annual Izzy Award named after the legendary muckraker, I.F. Stone. First up, we have documentary filmmaker Abby Martin of Empire Files who is sharing the Izzy Award this year for her documentary Earths Greatest Enemy about how the Pentagon is the worlds greatest polluter and why we must all act to reverse the global damage caused by US military. Next up Izzy judge and professor Victor Pickard discusses the state of our free press, the challenges journalists face from the current administration, and how independent media can light the way to a more informed and just world. The post Muckrakers & Media Freedom: Celebrating the Izzy Award appeared first on Project Censored.
