KUOW wins seven regional Edward R. Murrow awards for 2024, including best podcast
KUOW Puget Sound Public Radio has won seven 2024 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for its coverage spanning child care to homelessness, attacks on the Northwest's power grid to the rise of pickleball in Seattle, and Best Podcast for the "Ghost Herd" docuseries.
"An amazing team of people in KUOW's newsroom works hard every day to tell stories like these, and I love when our best work is recognized," said interim news director Jason Pagano. "We couldn't do it without the generous support of our Seattle and Western Washington audience. I hope they are proud of the work their local NPR station does on their behalf."
The regional Edward R. Murrow Awards honor outstanding achievement in local broadcast and digital journalism. KUOW was awarded in the "radio - large market" category within Region 1, which includes Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington state. All winners will automatically be entered into consideration for awards at the national level.
