text: # Premi Ridenhour
  
  I Premi Ridenhour comprendono ricompense in quattro categorie e sono assegnati ogni anno a coloro "che perseverano in atti di 'truth-telling' che proteggono l'interesse pubblico, promuovono la giustizia sociale, o illuminano una visione più giusta della società". I premi sono conferiti dal The Nation Institute e dalla Fondazione Fertel in onore di Ron Ridenhour, il veterano della guerra del Vietnam che raccontò del Massacro di My Lai. Ogni premio comporta un sussidio di 10000$. I premi furono assegnati per la prima volta nel 2004.
  
  Le categorie di riconoscimenti sono:
  
  * Il Ridenhour Courage Prize
  * Il Ridenhour Book Prize
  * Il Ridenhour Truth-Telling Prize
  * Il Ridenhour Documentary Film Prize (dal 2011)
