Marcy Wheeler Wins Prestigious Hillman Award
from my inbox

Today the Sidney Hillman Foundation announced that Marcy Wheeler received the prestigious Hillman Award for her investigative work. Other recipients include Jane Mayer, author of The Dark Side, and New York Times journalist Steve Greenhouse.

In giving Marcy the award, The Hillman Foundation singled out her groundbreaking work on the CIA leak case, her liveblogging at the Scooter Libby trial in 2007, and her coverage of Alberto Gonzales and warrantless wiretapping. They also note that Marcy's reporting about Khalid Sheik Mohammed being waterboarded 183 times in one month wound up on the front page of the New York Times.


They have set up a fund to help her do her good work
