Truthdig has collaborated with the International Women’s Media Foundation to select female journalists in various countries, all of whom are winners of IWMF’s Courage In Journalism and Lifetime Achievement awards that honor women reporters who risk their lives to expose the truth.  Initial funding for the Truthdig reporting project comes from the NoVo Foundation Fund at Tides Foundation.
