The prize honours "a Canadian journalist or one working for a Canadian media outlet; someone who has made a contribution to writing or broadcasting; someone whose work has demonstrated a willingness to put his or her career on the line in the tenacious pursuit of a story; and a self-starter who has had the courage to be unique and take an independent viewpoint."
In addition to Homeland, and A War Against Truth, PWR has previously published six other books. A passionate lover of the Middle East and a scholar of Jewish and Arabic history and religions, he also spent four years editing a 22-volume English translation of the Zohar, the pivotal Hebrew/Aramaic text which is one of the primary bases for kabbalah.
PWR is planning a book about Kabbalah for Raincoast Publishing. A completely revised paperback version of Journey of the Magi, with a new preface, was published by Raincoast the fall of 2005, and a new edition of River in the Desert is on the shelves now. Click in our Bookstore at AFP to purchase.

“If this movement were to be given a name, I think it would most appropriate to call it Christo-Fascism, and if anyone objects to my using the word fascism, because it seems so redolent of the Axis powers, and after all we valiantly defeated fascism once, well understand this about fascism, when it arrives it never shows up in the discarded costume of some other country, and when fascism comes here, its not going to be wearing a toothbrush mustache with a luger in his belt and go goose-stepping around the mall, because that’s Germany. And its precisely characteristic of fascism, that it seems absolutely, totally expressive of the homeland, it seems completely familiar, it’s when 150% America puts a flag on it’s lapel and a cross around it’s neck and a real folksy way a talkin’, but just because it’s red, white and blue, doesn’t mean it’s American.” - Mark Crispin Miller, A Patriot Act

Norman Solomon is a nationally syndicated columnist on media and politics. He has been writing the weekly "Media Beat" column since 1992.
Solomon's latest book, "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death," was published in 2005. The Los Angeles Times called the book "brutally persuasive" and "a must-read for those who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee, or to arm themselves for the debates about Iraq that are still to come."
The newspaper's reviewer added: "Solomon is a formidable thinker and activist." The Humanist magazine described the book as "a definitive historical text" and "an indispensable record of the real relationships among government authorities and media outlets."
Solomon is the founder and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national consortium of policy researchers and analysts.
His book "Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You” (co-authored with foreign correspondent Reese Erlich) was published in 2003 by Context Books.
"Target Iraq" has also been published in German, Italian, Hungarian, Brazilian and South Korean editions.
A collection of Solomon’s columns won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language. The award, presented by the National Council of Teachers of English, honored Solomon’s book "The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media."
Solomon’s books include "Target Iraq," “Wizards of Media Oz: Behind the Curtain of Mainstream News,” “The Trouble With Dilbert: How Corporate Culture Gets the Last Laugh,” “False Hope: The Politics of Illusion in the Clinton Era,” “The Power of Babble: The Politician's Dictionary of Buzzwords and Doubletalk for Every Occasion,” and “Killing Our Own: The Disaster of America's Experience With Atomic Radiation.”
Solomon has appeared as a guest on many media outlets including the PBS “NewsHour With Jim Lehrer,” CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, C-SPAN, public radio’s “Marketplace,” and NPR’s “All Things Considered,” “Morning Edition” and “Talk of the Nation.”
In 2003, Norman Solomon appeared on CNN more than a dozen times as an in-studio guest. In addition, he was a guest on MSNBC and Fox News Channel, and appeared on live broadcasts of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal.”
He voiced commentary that aired on the nationwide public radio program “Marketplace.” In addition, Solomon appeared on such international outlets as the BBC Radio World Service, CBC Radio, CBC Television, Voice of America, Al-Jazeera Television, Australia’s ABC television and radio, and SBS radio networks. He also appeared on radio outlets in Ireland and South Africa.
Solomon’s op-ed articles have appeared in a range of newspapers including the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, New York Times, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, USA Today, Philadelphia Inquirer and Baltimore Sun. His articles have also appeared in the International Herald Tribune, Canada’s Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the Jordan Times.
In 1997 Solomon co-authored “Wizards of Media Oz: Behind the Curtain of Mainstream News.”
A review in the Nation magazine said: “One of the great values of this book is that it demolishes the myth that liberalism dominates the media. ... This nifty, easily digestible compendium ought to be used in high school and college courses to help the young learn how to be discriminating news consumers.”
Solomon co-wrote “Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media,” published in 1990. A review in the Washington Post concluded that the book “makes a worthy addition to the library of any student of American news media, social structure and political science.” Kirkus Reviews said that the book provides “an extensive record of recent media distortions.” Publishers Weekly said that Solomon and co-author Martin A. Lee “make a compelling case for the contention that newsmen and women distort current events.” The San Francisco Chronicle reviewer wrote: “Their command of information is matched by committed, eloquent writing that plumbs the psychological and political complexities of mass-mediated experience.” Utne Reader called the book “an essential text.” USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds described it as “a thinking person’s book.”
Solomon’s 1995 book “Through the Media Looking Glass” (co-authored with Jeff Cohen) drew praise from Booklist, which called it “a lively counterpoint to the dominant conservative critique of the ‘liberal’ media.” A review in the Los Angeles Times declared: “The bold, muckraking tone of these columns offers a welcome respite from the decerebrated discourse that too often passes for contemporary journalism.”
His journalistic experience includes many years of free-lance writing for Pacific News Service and other media outlets, and several reporting visits to the Soviet Union during the mid-1980s.
He is a former associate of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Norman Solomon is a longtime associate of the media watch group FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting). He is also senior advisor to the National Radio Project, which produces the weekly public-affairs program “Making Contact,” heard on 160 noncommercial radio stations in North America. He anchored live national radio coverage of the Democratic and Republican national conventions in 1992, 1996 and 2000.

Medea Benjamin, Founding Director of the human rights group Global Exchange, has struggled for social justice and human rights in Asia, the Americas, and Africa for over 25 years. She helped shine the national spotlight on US sweatshops overseas, derail the plans of the World Trade Organization and promote “fair trade” over “free trade.”
Ever since the tragic events of 9/11, Medea has been organizing against a violent response. She traveled several times to Afghanistan, including with a delegation of 9/11 families, to highlight civilian casualties caused by the US invasion.
She is a leading activist in the peace movement and helped bring together the groups forming the coalition United for Peace and Justice. In October 2002, Medea made national news for interrupting Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as he pitched his plans for war against Iraq to Congress.
After the invasion, Medea traveled several times to Iraq to organize the Occupation Watch International Center in Baghdad. Medea also co-founded Code Pink, a women's peace group that has been organizing creative actions against the occupation of Iraq.
In 2005, Medea organized a delegation of US military families who lost loved ones in Iraq to the Iraqi/Jordanian border to bring a shipment of humanitarian aid for the people of Fallujah. In 2005 Medea was nominated as one of 1,000 exceptional women from around the world to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She is also the author/editor of several books, including Stop the Next War Now.

As the sacred cows set themselves up for slaughter each night at six, America cries out for a man with the aim, strength and style to swat the partisan political piñatas upside their heads. Will Durst is that man. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of barbs sharpened by a keen wit and dipped into the same ink as the day's headlines, Durst transcends political ties, last year performing at events featuring Vice President Al Gore and former President George HW Bush, also speaking at the Governors Conference and the Mayors Convention cementing his claim as the nation's ultimate equal opportunity offender. Outraged and outrageous, Durst may mock and scoff and taunt, but he does it with taste.
A Midwestern baby boomer with a media induced identity crisis, Durst has been called "a modern day Will Rogers" by The L.A. Times while the S. F. Chronicle hails him as "heir apparent to Mort Sahl and Dick Gregory." The Chicago Tribune argues he's a "hysterical hybrid of Hunter Thompson and Charles Osgood," although the Washington Post portrays him as "the dark Prince of doubt." All agree Durst is America's premier political comic.
As American as a bottomless cup of coffee, this former Milwaukeean is cherished by critics and audiences alike for the common sense he brings to his surgical skewering of the hype and hypocrisies engulfing us on a daily basis. Busier than a blind squirrel neck deep in an almond sorting warehouse, Durst writes a daily Internet column, was a contributing editor to both National Lampoon and George magazines and continues to pen frequent contributions to various periodicals such as the New York Times and his hometown San Francisco Chronicle.
This five-time Emmy nominee and host/co-producer of the ongoing award winning PBS series "Livelyhood" is also a regular commentator on NPR and CNN, and has appeared on every comedy show featuring a brick wall including Letterman, Comedy Central, HBO and Showtime, receiving 7 consecutive nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year. Hobbies include the never-ending search for the perfect cheeseburger, while his heroes remain the same from when he was twelve: Thomas Jefferson and Bugs Bunny.

Richard Kastelein - the designer, CMS architect and co-founder of Atlantic Free Press (with Chris Floyd) is the technical guru and art director of the site.
Kastelein's company, Expathos (www.expathos.com), specialises in Open Source Content Management Systems for bloggers, online social groups and communities.
His choices for open source solutions are more commonly used in Europe, therefore unique in the US market, giving his work a unique stamp in the American digital landscape. He prefers staying away from cookie cutter, proprietary software solutions such as Moveable Type and blog hosting services such as Xanga, blogger.com and Live Journal. By using Open Source Content Management System software such as Joomla, Drupal and Postnuke, not very common in the blogging world, his work is unique.
He also helps authors layout, design and publish their works using on-demand printing solutions such as Cafe Press and Lulu.
Bucking the traditional publishing paradigm (writer-agent-publisher triage) by using new developments in technology and distribution, Kastelein's company works with expatriate and 'dissident' writers such as Chris Floyd, Will Charlesworth and others.
Hailing from the Canadian Pacific Southwest - Richard grew up on the fringes of Vancouver, a liberal and progressive city often noted as one of the best places to live in the world by such publications as the Economist and the UN.
Packing his bag at 19, he left the city in 1986 and has lived overseas most of his adult life, choosing the life of a sailing vagabond over immediate college.
After sailing the Atlantic with a clan of Viking Norwegians, hailing boats in Thailand and Malaysia and sailing the Pacific, he published his first series of articles called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Seas" in 1991 in the UK in an array of international adventure travel magazines.
He then went on to Art College in Victoria B.C. where he studied Photography and Journalism at the Western Academy of Photography to hone his writing and visual skills. Kastelein's first job out of college was reporting for a weekly newspaper in a small enclave of 3000 people, Fort Smith, in the Canadian Northwest Territories.
After two years in Fort Smith, Kastelein went back to sea and ended up in St. Maarten in the Dutch Caribbean where he spent almost ten years, on and off, working as an editor and reporting for the local media as well as serving stints in the marine industry as a sailboat skipper and marketing director for two multinational marine chandleries.
In 1994-95 Kastelein sailed from Crete, Greece to the Caribbean with his wife and two friends on a 38 foot Morgan sailboat.
He has created two print publications from conceptualisation, design, content production, layout, distribution and solicitation of advertising in the Caribbean - What's ON St. Martin and The Limin' Times as well as provided hard news for St. Martin's Week as English Editor and Today St. Martin as an investigative reporter.
Kastelein returned to Europe in 2002 to start life anew with additions to the family along with the desire to live in the First World once again.
He now develops websites, manages a boatbuilding operation in Brazil and writes.
