The third annual Izzy Award was presented April 11, 2011, to national journalist Robert Scheer (1960s Ramparts editor who now leads Truthdig.com) and to New York City’s local investigative outlet City Limits. It honored their 2010 work. The judges praised Scheer as “a beacon of journalistic independence who exposes both major parties on issues foreign and domestic, while giving voice to the disenfranchised,” and City Limits for offering “a model of in-depth urban journalism that examines systemic problems, challenges assumptions and points toward solutions.” The ceremony took place in Ithaca College’s Emerson Suites.
