黑料新闻 Honored with Two National Edward R. Murrow Awards
HARTFORD, CT [August 25, 2025] - 黑料新闻 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.
黑料新闻 received national recognition in two categories:
- Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Unforgotten: 黑料新闻鈥檚 Hidden History of Slavery
- Breaking News Coverage for reporting on the devastating flooding that struck southern 黑料新闻 in August 2024
鈥淭hese honors are a tribute to the teamwork, collaboration, and creativity required to pull off this type of journalism,鈥� says Executive Editor, Eric Aasen. 鈥淚t鈥檚 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.鈥�
The Edward R. Murrow Awards are among the most respected journalism awards in the world, recognizing outstanding achievements in electronic journalism. This recognition affirms 黑料新闻鈥檚 dedication to high-quality, impactful storytelling across multiple platforms.
