Out of a dozen radio network/syndication categories, CBS Radio News took five in the latest Edward R. Murrow Awards honoring excellence in electronic journalism.
The Radio-Television News Directors Association announced winners.
In network radio, CBS Radio News was honored for Overall Excellence, Newscast, Spot News, Use of Sound and Writing, the latter for Dave Ross.
ABC News Radio, Mississippi Public Broadcasting and National Public Radio each won two Murrows; XM Satellite Radio also snagged one.
“Disaster coverage figured in many of the winning stories, both in radio and television, including reports on the Virginia Tech shootings and the Minneapolis Bridge collapse,” the RTDNA stated.
Awards will be presented at a dinner in October in New York.
