David Sirota, who joined International Business Times as a senior writer, focusing on the intersection of Wall Street and politics, four years ago, has resigned in the wake of editor firings at the company.
On Twitter, Sirota wrote, “I am proud of my nearly 4 years there, producing serious award-winning investigative journalism under extremely difficult circumstances. I will now be looking for a new opportunity to continue this work. l hope I’ll find it. Thanks to all.”
In 2015, Sirota won the Izzy Award, presented by the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College and named in memory of the late I.F. “Izzy” Stone, the dissident journalist who launched I.F. Stone’s Weekly in 1953 and challenged McCarthyism, the Vietnam War, racial injustice and government deceit.
Sirota published dozens of articles in 2014 on corruption in the country’s $3 trillion pension system. These abuses hurt taxpayers and government employees while rewarding Wall Street firms that fatten politicians’ campaign coffers.
Sirota previously was a syndicated columnist and wrote for The Huffington Post.
