Dear friends of inewsource,
Our work on “An Impossible Choice,” made possible by your support, has won two national awards named for the great Edward R. Murrow.
The Radio Television Digital News Association in Washington, D.C. announced Wednesday that the inewsource multimedia project won top honors for radio series and hard news reporting on television in the category of small online organization.
“An Impossible Choice,” which aired in September, told the stories of a largely unseen population that is kept alive for years on machines, some 4,000 in California alone. This world was chronicled by inewsource reporter Joanne Faryon and videographer Brad Racino and delivered across many platforms, including television, radio, web and social media.
The awards will be presented in New York in the fall.
“From investigations that probe the issues that divide us, to features that highlight what can unite us, our winners are truly the best of the best,” RTDNA Chair Amy Tardif said in Wednesday’s release announcing the awards. “Their work demonstrates the dedication and perseverance that exemplify the highest standards of journalism excellence.”
This, from the RTDNA website, about the awards:
