Dear Bruce,

 

Andrew Breitbart pioneered a new media revolution that transformed journalism and the political landscape, and though he may have left this earth, his work has only just begun. At the Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity, we have teamed up with the Heritage Foundation to pay tribute to the monumental achievements of Andrew's work, and the recognition of those who continue his legacy by carrying the torch for freedom and truth."

We will be presenting awards in the following areas:

Full-time Reporter: In a media environment that tells reporters to go along to get along, a few still consider it a sacred trust to keep the people informed. A few still recognize the awesome responsibility in belonging to the only profession to be enshrined in the Bill of Rights. We'll present one Breitbart Award to a full-time news reporter to honor courage and honesty in telling the real stories that matter to people's lives.

Blogger: When the legacy media fails to do its job, we are fortunate to have an army waiting on the Internet to hold the institutions of power accountable. We'll honor a blogger for intrepid reporting that goes over the heads of the legacy media to communicate directly to the people.

Citizen: The fight for freedom requires a constant stream of new recruits willing to make time in their lives to serve as watchdogs in their local communities. We'll honor an information activist committed to digging up the truth.

 

Please take the time to go to BreitbartAwards.com to nominate your favorite reporter, blogger, and citizen journalist. It's important to acknowledge those among us who are doing great work.

Thank you!
