Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) (NASDAQ: LCAPA, LCAPB,
LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB) today announced the winner of the
second annual Media for Liberty Award, a $50,000 prize that
recognizes media contributions examining the link between economic
and political liberty. “How a New Jobless Era Will Transform
America,” an article published in the March 2010 edition of The
Atlantic by Don Peck, was selected by members of the Media for
Liberty Award jury as the winning entry for 2011. Print, broadcast
and online submissions were judged on criteria including thematic
relevance, educational value and relevance to the public
discourse.
Peck’s story reasons that although The Great Recession may be
over, this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning.
Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character
of a generation of young adults, leave an indelible imprint on many
blue-collar men, could cripple marriage as an institution and may
already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for
decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp the politics, culture,
and the character of our society for years to come.
“We are pleased to have reached our second year for the Award
and with a strong caliber of entries,” said John Malone, Chairmen
of Liberty Media. “I look forward to celebrating Don’s article, and
journalistic excellence, in Washington, D.C.”
The entry will be honored at an upcoming ceremony this spring in
Washington, D.C.
