Award Explores the Relationship between
Economic and Political Liberty
Liberty Media Corporation (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, FWONA,
FWONK, BATRA, BATRK) announced the recipient of its 2022 Media for
Liberty Award, established to acknowledge and encourage media
contributions that explore the relationship between economic and
political liberty. Susan Page is the Washington Bureau Chief of USA
Today. In her role, she founded and hosts the award-winning video
newsmaker series "Capital Download." Susan has received numerous
accolades for her contributions to journalism, notably for her
coverage of presidential campaigns. She is the author of two books,
most recently publishing “Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the
Lessons of Power” in 2021.
"The Media for Liberty Award is presented to individuals and
organizations who have used journalism to shine a light on untold
or misunderstood stories. Susan is one of the greatest political
journalists of our era and the breadth of her coverage across
decades and administrations has earned her a place as a trusted
voice in national politics,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty Media
President & CEO. “We are thrilled to celebrate Susan’s
accomplishments at our event and we look forward to her continued
insight for years to come.”
“It is my great honor to accept the Media for Liberty Award,”
Susan Page said. “Journalism has no higher purpose than to protect
liberty and to foster freedom, to extend and expand our great
American experiment. I’m grateful to Liberty Media for its generous
prize, which I hope will help independent-minded reporters covering
some of the world’s most dangerous stories do their jobs.”
Susan Page came to USA Today from Newsday in 1995. While at USA
Today, she served as the first female music chairman of the
Gridiron Club – the oldest association of journalists in
Washington. In 2011, she became president of the club. Before that,
Page served as president of the White House Correspondents
Association and as chairman of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism
Awards.
During her decades-long career, Susan has covered 11
presidential campaigns and seven White House administrations,
interviewed the past 10 presidents, and reported from six
continents. In 2020, she became the first print reporter ever to be
the sole moderator for the Commission of Presidential Debates, when
she moderated the debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris.
Susan Page will be celebrated at a ceremony hosted by Liberty
Media on Wednesday, May 11th in Washington, D.C. Page has elected
to donate her award to the Emergency Fund of the International
Women’s Media Foundation, which provides women journalists with a
lifeline of support in times of distress or threat.
The Media for Liberty Award is a $50,000 journalism prize
presented by the Liberty Media Corporation that seeks to honor
journalism that cuts against the grain, forging a new narrative on
the intersection of liberty, freedom, capitalism, and business.
Notably, Liberty Media welcomes diverse and contrary perspectives
and does not look for homogeneity with our views. Instead, we value
