In November, Acosta had his White House press credentials pulled after a contentious exchange with Trump during a news conference in which he held on to a microphone. A federal judge later ordered the administration to reinstate his press credentials.

The ruling was limited to Acosta's Fifth Amendment rights to due process, saying they were violated. The judge did not issue a ruling on whether the correspondent's First Amendment rights were violated.

“We are proud to honor a man such as Jim Acosta, who has proven himself throughout his storied, decades-long career to be a journalist of the utmost integrity,” said New York Press Club president Jane Tillman Irving. “For his unwavering commitment to fact and journalism, we are pleased to add to Jim’s many accolades with the Gabe Pressman ‘Truth to Power’ award.”

Washington Post editor-in-chief Martin Baron won the "Truth to Power" award in 2018.
