WGLT

WGLT has earned two regional Edward R. Murrow Awards — one of the most prestigious honors in journalism. WGLT won for Overall Excellence and Investigative Reporting and now heads to the national competition.

Public broadcasters are weighing their options and waiting for what's next after the Trump administration issued an executive order to defund public media.

On Thursday night, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media.” The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to prohibit both direct and indirect federal funding to NPR and PBS.

WGLT is excited to announce the launch of a free journalism workshop series open to high school students in partnership with Normal Community High School’s Future Business Leaders of America program (FBLA).

WGLT is the recipient of a $20,000 grant stemming from a partnership between the Institute for Nonprofit News and the Google News Initiative. The money will fund expanded news coverage of K-12 education in McLean County.

You're invited to come visit the new WGLT studios this fall, with two open house opportunities as we gear up for Fall Fund Drive.

The public can now dive back into the WGLT audio archives thanks to a grant-funded digitization effort that brings Illinois State University’s NPR station into the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.

Learn about upcoming changes to the WGLT schedule, including the addition of the BBC Newshour (2 p.m. weekdays) and Conversations from the World Cafe (5 p.m. Saturdays).

The national awards are from the Public Media Journalists Association in Visual Storytelling and Newscast.

WGLT has earned a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Overall Excellence. It's the first time the station has earned this prestigious award since 2015.
