Join us at the James Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism to celebrate journalists who tell the truth.

Our keynote speaker and winner of the Aronson Career Achievement Award is Gary Younge. Whether writing in lucid prose about the deferred dream of Barack Obama, his own identity as a Black Briton in a predominantly white society, or the prevalence of guns and violence in American life, Gary Younge’s award-winning work has been probing, illuminating and insightful. For the past 12 years Gary has been reporting from the United States for The Guardian and The Nation.

Amy will receive a $3,000 fellowship to report on refugee children in Sweden. More than 35,000 unaccompanied minors from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are now living in Sweden, straining resources and creating unprecedented demands on youth shelters and counseling services. Amy will report and write an online story and produce an audio slide show that will be published by the Pulitzer Center upon her return. She will also attend a fellows weekend in the fall in Washington DC to meet other fellows and professional journalists.
