CWA Strike Publication Wins Prestigious Izzy Award
April 17, 2025
https://cwa-union.org/news/cwa-strike-publication-wins-prestigious-izzy-award
TNG-CWA Local 38061 members have delivered award-winning local news coverage to the people of Pittsburgh throughout their two and a half years on strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette through the strike publication, the Pittsburgh Union Progress.
Now, striking photojournalist Steve Mellon has won the prestigious 17th Annual Izzy Award “for outstanding achievement in independent media” for his coverage of the derailment and the fallout that continues to afflict working-class people in and around East Palestine, Ohio, and beyond. He has continued to tell those stories long after major media outlets left them behind.
