2019 News Journalist of the Year: Bill Weinberg

On the streets of New York City, Bill Weinberg ranks as one of the last missionaries possessed with the spirit of the old East Village. Weinberg’s nest egg of purple haze doesn’t stop with philosophical jargon, as he remains to be one of the most celebrated news journalists in the country. His commitment to political awareness is unprecedented.

For twenty years Weinberg worked as the primary producer of a weekly late-night radio show on WBAI in New York, called The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade. Weinberg’s work work has appeared in Al Jazeera, The Nation, The Progressive, The Village Voice, The Miami Herald, Newsday, New America Media,  NACLA Report on the Americas, Middle East Policy,  Toward Freedom, In These Times, Yes! Magazine, Indian Country Today, The Amsterdam News, The Ecologist, Earth Island Journal, City Limits, Cannabis Culture and numerous other publications. Most notably, Weinberg has consistently presented a spectacular display of news journalism through Counter Vortex. It is with great honor that I am proud to announce William J. Weinberg as the recipient of Warlock Asylum International News 2019 News Journalist of the Year Award. Many blessing be upon you and all your literary endeavors.
