The awards are named for the famed and esteemed CBS broadcaster and distributed by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA).
Judges honored IPR for the following stories in the following categories:
- Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Points North: A New Hope for Anishinaabemowin (Dan Wanschura)
- Excellence in Sound - Steam is king at the Buckley Old Engine Show (Izzy Ross)
- Podcast - Points North: Copper Country’s Conundrum (Ellie Katz)
Congrats to Dan, Izzy and Ellie on their work. And congratulations to our other public radio colleagues who received honors at WCMU in Mt. Pleasant, WMUK in Kalamazoo and Michigan Public in Ann Arbor.
A win in Region 7 — Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois — means these stories are now under consideration for the national competition.
IPR won a national Murrow award last year, for Dan Wanschura's episode of Points North titled "Complete With His Language: Kenny Pheasant and the Great Lakes' Original Tongue."
