Nonprofit Newsrooms Win Izzy Award for Exposing Corruption in New York & Chicago
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2022 Izzy Award for outstanding achievement in independent media
will be shared between the nonprofit newsrooms The City in New York, as
well as Chicago's Better Government Association and Block Club Chicago.
The news outlets won for "exposing corruption that harmed low-income
residents of those cities." Independent journalist Jenni Monet is also
being recognized for her weekly newsletter "Indigenously: Decolonizing
Your Newsfeed." And the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists won an Izzy for its Pandora Papers investigation exposing
how the world's richest hide their money and avoid paying taxes. The
Izzy Award is named for legendary dissident journalist I.F. Stone.
