窪蹋勛圖厙 Honored with Two National Edward R. Murrow Awards

HARTFORD, CT [August 25, 2025] - 窪蹋勛圖厙 is proud to announce it has been awarded two National Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), one of the most prestigious honors in broadcast and digital journalism.
窪蹋勛圖厙 received national recognition in two categories:
- Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Unforgotten: 窪蹋勛圖厙s Hidden History of Slavery
- Breaking News Coverage for reporting on the devastating flooding that struck southern 窪蹋勛圖厙 in August 2024
These honors are a tribute to the teamwork, collaboration, and creativity required to pull off this type of journalism, says Executive Editor, Eric Aasen. Its especially meaningful to be recognized for two very different types of efforts: Unforgotten, a groundbreaking, cross-platform series produced over many months, and our rapid, on-deadline coverage of a breaking tragedy. Both reflect the commitment of our journalists to serve our audiences: to inform, enlighten, and inspire.
The Edward R. Murrow Awards are among the most respected journalism awards in the world, recognizing outstanding achievements in electronic journalism. This recognition affirms 窪蹋勛圖厙s dedication to high-quality, impactful storytelling across multiple platforms.
