Well, we here at Truthdig already think he’s the best, but it’s fantastic news that the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has singled out veteran journalist, author and Truthdig editor in chief Robert Scheer as this year’s recipient of The Distinguished Work in New Media Award. This award from the SPJ/LA truly puts the “new” in new media, as it’s only been in existence for two years. Our heartiest congratulations to Scheer for his well-deserved honor, proving once again that his vision and voice have made their indelible mark, even in a medium that’s constantly changing.
