Other 2007 winners include:

* BusinessWeek for its “The Poverty Business,” which shows corporations are creating new sources of profit by luring unsophisticated and low-income consumers into a thicket of debt. The work demonstrates that the sub-prime mortgage crisis is only part of a much bigger injustice.

* The quarterly City Limits, which portrayed the “everyday injustice” suffered by low-income people facing criminal charges when they confront bail amounts they cannot afford and suffer consequences to their employment, families, or ability to mount a proper legal defense.

* Jeremy Scahill for his reporting on growing role at home and abroad of the Blackwater private military company
