WTOP's McConnell Gets Newly Created Award

WTOP Radio’s ubiquitous Capitol Hill Correspondent, Dave McConnell, earned a unique recognition this week. The Radio & Television Correspondents’ Association declared him the first ever winner of the Career Achievement Award for Distinguished Reporting on Congress.

McConnell has more than 50 years of reporting experience in Washington. He joined WTOP in 1965 and became the station’s full-time Capitol Hill Correspondent in 1981, a position he still holds today.

“As a kid, Dave and his classmates used to cut class to go see the Senators,” said WTOP Vice President of News & Programming Jim Farley.
