The Radio Television Digital News Association has awarded the WGLT News Department with three regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for broadcast excellence.
GLT’s Feature reporter Laura Kennedy won her first Murrow Award for a story about starlings and their ever-present nature. Assistant News Director Charlie Schlenker took the honors in the Best Writing category. News Director Willis Kern’s report on the naming of Normal’s minor league baseball stadium, The Corn Crib, took top honors in the Sports Reporting division.
