It focuses on deeply reported investigative work that has impact.

The Sidney Hillman Foundation has been handing out various prizes in the discipline of journalism for more than fifty years. The Sidney Award was launched in 2009.[2]

The Foundation announces the monthly winner on the second Wednesday of each month.[1] Recipients are awarded $500 and a certificate drawn by New Yorker cartoonist Edward Sorel.[3]
