His 2003 piece The Liquidation of the Commons was named as one the Top 10 Censored stories of 2003-2004 by Project Censored. In it, Werbach decried the historic and "wholesale give-away of American public assets" under the administration of President G.W. Bush.

Throughout his years in public, Werbach has made frequent appearances — both as a contributor and as subject of articles and interviews — at the Guardian in London.
