TORONTO — Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein will receive Australia's 2016 Sydney Peace Prize on Friday.

The honour comes with $50,000 AUD (C$51,500).
Previous winners include Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Klein is the author of "No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies," "The Shock Doctrine" and "This Changes Everything," which inspired a documentary.
