In the West, journalists receive the Pulitzer award for truth-telling.
In Russia, there is also a 9mm award - a 9mm bullet in the forehead for telling the truth.

Anna Politkovskaya was one of the many journalists that the Kremlin regime assasinated for telling the truth.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
