DescriptionThe Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, is partnering with the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity to issue the Breitbart Awards, named after blogger Andrew Breitbart, a conservative firebrand who died in March.

The awards hail the Breitbart.com founder for having “pioneered a new media revolution that transformed journalism and the political landscape” and seek to recognize “those who continue his legacy by carrying the torch for freedom and truth.”

Three individuals will be honored “from the realms of professional journalism, blogging, and citizen activism — whose efforts advance the spirit of Andrew Breitbart’s work. Nominations will be accepted for individuals who are driven by an indomitable pursuit for truth and accountability, and whose work has broken meaningful ground in advancing those causes on behalf of the public good.”

As the Washington Post notes, it’s not the first time that Heritage and Breibart have linked up: Heritage and Breitbart.com joined forces in April “to bring the think tank’s popular weekly Blogger’s Briefing to Breitbart TV’s national conservative audience.”
