Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB,

contributions that explore the link between economic and political

received by Liberty Media no later than January 9, 2012. There is a
$50,000 prize for the winning entry.
The Media for Liberty Award is open to journalists worldwide
whose original works bring new insights on societal issues, news
events, economies, political structures and cultures that
illustrate their prosperity or struggle in their pursuit of a free
market environment and civil liberties uninfluenced by government
agenda.
Sample topics and issues might include (but are not limited
to):
- Government involvement in private
enterprise (TARP, health and financial reform)
- Dependency on foreign oil
- Access to healthcare (universal care,
rationing, Medicare)

becoming prohibitively expensive for the middle class consumer
- Ultimate cost of globalization from a
societal, cultural, economic perspective
- True cost of ethanol and its impact on
food and fuel
- Fair trade
- Global tax and regulatory changes
Submitted works will be reviewed by a jury panel and evaluated
based on the degree to which the theme is addressed, inspirational
and educational value, relevance to the public discourse, and
mastery of media format.
Prior year’s recipients were CBS 60 Minutes for a segment titled
"Congo Gold” that traveled to the war-torn region of eastern Congo
to investigate the connection between the mining of gold and other
precious minerals, and an essay in The Atlantic titled “How a New
Jobless Era will Transform America” that examined the likely
lasting effects of the recent Great Recession on American society,
culture and politics.
