The Nieman Foundation at Harvard awarded Jamie Kalven the 2022 I.F. Stone for Journalistic Independence, recognizing “his body of work that includes investigations and ventures that have documented police abuse and impunity, provided access to vital public records and have told the stories of many of the underserved and underrepresented residents in long-neglected public housing projects.”
“From the beginning of my career, Izzy Stone was an inspiration,” Kalven said of the award’s namesake. “His example emboldened me to strike out on my own path as a journalist. And his work offered a model of rigorous reporting on important stories, neglected by major media, hiding in plain sight. I am grateful to the Nieman Foundation for linking my name with his and those of the superb colleagues who have shared this honor.”
