From The Denver Post:
The 2016 Regional Murrow Awards, honoring the best in electronic journalism, were announced by The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) today.
KUSA won seven Murrow Awards, including overall excellence, sports, hard news and feature reporting and writing.
That was a good haul for Denver’s 9News but it wasn’t tops in the regionals: in the large market television category, KING-TV in Seattle led with nine Murrows this year.
In the regional competition, KDVR won for its 9 p.m. newscast. KCNC won for breaking news coverage of the “Planned Parenthood Shooting” and the news documentary regarding the Henthorn case. KMGH’s reports on “Children Abused: Deaths Ignored” won the news series category.
KOA won for overall excellence in the radio category. Colorado Public Radio won for continuing coverage and investigative reporting.
In the small market competition KUNC won for hard news reporting. KKTV in Colorado Springs won for its 10 p.m. newscast.
In addition to Colorado, the region includes Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. A complete list of the 2016 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards winners can be found at rtdna.org.
The national Murrow Awards will be announced in June.
