Truthdig Wins Six EPPYs

Truthdig is honored to receive six 2025 EPPY Awards from Editor & Publisher magazine, including five wins in the category for sites with fewer than 1 million monthly unique visitors.

Jeb Lund won Best News/Political Column for his pieces “Death of a Nation,” “Resistance Is Mobile,” “When Nobody Comes to Fix the Bridge” and “Sleepwalking in a Snitch State.” Lund’s cutting commentary exposes systemic failures and highlights hypocrisy using humor, history and a sense of the absurd. 

Stefano Schirato won for Best Photojournalism on a Website for his photo essay “Caravans of Faith and Memory.” Schirato’s work documents the annual Romani pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France.

Soo Kim won Best Overall Website Design, while Soo Kim and James Dwyer jointly won Best Home Page Design for Truthdig.

Sharon Romeo, creative director; Pablo Ortega, marketing manager; and animators Andrew Clippingdale and Myke Allen won Best Promotional/Marketing Campaign for Truthdig’s year-end campaign, “Stay the Course.” Anchored by the animated video “Keep Your Eyes on the Road, Truthdiggers,” the campaign blended storytelling with calls to action, encouraging audiences to stay vigilant during uncertain times, and to find hope together.

Truthdig also took second place for Best Online-Only News Website. 

“Our team continues to prove that independent journalism can be both rigorous and creatively bold,” said Zuade Kaufman, CEO & Publisher of Truthdig. “This recognition inspires us to continue producing the kind of fearless journalism our readers rely on.”
