"The work of our honorees speaks volumes about the quality and diversity of electronic journalism available today," said RTDNA Executive Director Mike Cavender. "Each winning entry demonstrates how powerful a well-told story can be."
The Edward R. Murrow Awards reflect the principles embodied by Edward R. Murrow, longtime CBS correspondent. Widely recognized as the father of electronic journalism, Murrow was known for his courageous reporting and insatiable desire to find the truth, qualities embodied by the RTDNA awards, which have been presented annually since 1971.
