WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Accuracy in Media will honor Andrew Breitbart and Marc Morano for their outstanding contributions to journalism in a ceremony taking place during the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award is named for AIM's founder, Reed Irvine, who was America's first media watchdog.
"This country is indebted to Andrew Breitbart and Marc Morano for uncovering two of the most under-reported stories of 2009: corruption at ACORN and the ClimateGate scandal. I am thrilled to recognize Andrew Breitbart's groundbreaking investigation into rampant corruption at the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, and Marc Morano's excellent reporting on the ClimateGate scandal that exposed the politicized science behind claims that the science is settled on global warming," said Don Irvine, chairman of Accuracy in Media.
