t r u t h o u t | Ripping away the illusions of official propaganda is difficult and dangerous work. But it's all worth it when respected journalistic institutions take note.
That's exactly what happened yesterday when reporter Gareth Porter was awarded the 2012 Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, a top UK award for reporting that tells "an unpalatable truth, validated by powerful facts"! Past winners include Nick Davies of the Guardian; Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks; and the late Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times.
Upon announcing the award, the Martha Gellhorn Trust committee cited two articles Gareth wrote for Truthout:
"In a series of extraordinary articles, Gareth Porter has torn away the facades of the Obama administration and disclosed a military strategy that amounts to a war against civilians."
These extraordinary articles - "How McChrystal and Petraeus Built an Indiscriminate Killing Machine" and "The Lies That Sold Obama's Escalation in Afghanistan" - exemplify the mission that drives our organization. We are so proud of Gareth and honored by the recognition of the Martha Gellhorn Trust, a foundation named after one of history's bravest war correspondents.
If you believe in the importance of this kind of work, please support it. *We do this work on a much smaller budget than most journalism organizations out there, and right now we need your support to keep it going.* We're about $29,000 away from making our goal. Check out the extraordinary work of Truthout's reporters and please help to keep this young media organization thriving.
*Please make a tax-deductible contribution today:*
