The Sidney Prize Honors Writers of Long Form Essays

Sidney prizes are prized awards given out annually to writers of long-form essays. At a time when online content often consists of 140-character snippets, it is refreshing to see thoughtful writing that takes its time constructing arguments and exploring concepts.

David Brooks of The New York Times recently unveiled his annual Sidney Awards list this morning in the paper, including one written by National Association for Scholars President Peter Wood which earned a Sidney in its category for beguiling imagery – winning him one.

The Hillman Foundation annually presents Sidney Prizes to journalists for outstanding investigative reporting and deep storytelling in the public interest. Unlike most journalism awards, however, these distinctions don’t recognize specific achievements; rather they seek to recognize “discernment of significant news stories, courage in investigating those stories and impact on social or economic justice”.

This year’s prize went to three writers for their coverage of Afghanistan’s opium crisis – Ali Moorhead and Jeremy Stahl from The Wall Street Journal, Mary Beth Quirk from Vanity Fair and James Risen and Glenn Greenwald from The Washington Post.

This year’s selection panel honored an essay written by Michael Lewis for Portfolio magazine about people who “can see reality clearly when everyone else is lost in a fog of delusion”. The piece profiles Meredith Whitney and Steve Eisman who provided early warning that Citigroup would encounter serious trouble.
