In 2009 his coverage of the Obama campaign was awarded the James Cameron award for his reporting’s “combined moral vision and professional integrity.” Gary has made several radio and television documentaries on subjects ranging from the Tea Party to hip-hop culture. In 2007 he was awarded honorary doctorates by his alma mater, Heriot-Watt University, and by London South Bank University. In 2009 he was appointed the Belle Zeller Visiting Professor in Public Policy and Social Administration at Brooklyn College (CUNY), where he taught both graduate and undergraduate students for two years.

The Nation Institute

Founded in 2000,
Nation Books
has become a leading voice in American independent publishing. The imprint’s mission is to tell stories that inform and empower just as they inspire or entertain readers. We publish award-winning and bestselling journalists, thought leaders, whistleblowers, and truthtellers, and we are also committed to seeking out a new generation of emerging writers, particularly voices from under-represented communities and writers from diverse backgrounds. As a publisher with a focused list, we work closely with all our authors to ensure that their books have broad and lasting impact. With each of our books we aim to constructively affect and amplify cultural and political discourse and to engender positive social change.

Nation Books is a project of The Nation Institute, a nonprofit media center established to extend the reach of democratic ideals and strengthen the independent press. The Nation Institute is home to a dynamic range of programs: the award-winning Investigative Fund, which supports groundbreaking investigative journalism; the widely read and syndicated website TomDispatch; journalism fellowships that support and cultivate over twenty-five emerging and high-profile reporters each year; and the Victor S. Navasky Internship Program.
