From The Denver Post:
Denver’s CBS4 won three top Edward R. Murrow regional honors — for overall excellence, best breaking news and best newscast — the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) announced Tuesday.
The station’s work on the Colorado floods and the depth of coverage were cited in the overall excellence honor. The KCNC entry can be viewed here.
The first day flood coverage won for breaking news. See that entry here. And the CBS4 news at 10 p.m. from the first day of the flood was honored for best newscast. See it here.
The Murrow Awards recognize the best in broadcast journalism. The national awards will be announced in June. Last year, the Denver Post won three national Murrow awards and KUSA won best newscast nationally for coverage of the Aurora theater shootings and KXRM in Colorado Springs won for continuing coverage of the Waldo Canyon fire. The region covers Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico.
In this year’s regional round, Denver’s 9News KUSA picked up four honors: for feature reporting, investigative reporting, hard news reporting and use of sound/video. 7News KMGH won for continuing coverage of the “Failing Parole System” and for its website.
Additionally, KOA Radio won the regional honor for overall excellence. Colorado Public Radio won for a documentary, “Remembering John Denver,” and for hard news reporting on how the flooding affected immigrants. Greeley’s KUNC won three: for smaller market radio feature, investigative reporting and hard news reporting.
Among smaller market stations, KKTV in Colorado Springs won for overall excellence, KXRM won for continuing coverage of the Black Forest fire, KRCC won for breaking coverage of the Manitou Springs flooding,
