The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) unveiled the national winners of the 2023 Edward R. Murrow Awards on Wednesday.
“The Edward R. Murrow Awards serve as a testament to the unwavering dedication of journalists who illuminate the world with their stories,” RTDNA President and CEO Dan Shelley said in a statement. “These awards celebrate not just excellence, but the very essence of journalism that shapes our understanding of events and fosters a more informed society.”
This year’s Murrow awards celebrated journalism performed in 2022, a history-making year that included: the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, the deadliest shooting at a Texas public school in Uvalde, the aftermath of Hurricane Ian — the deadliest hurricane since 2005 — and numerous other significant events.
The winners will be celebrated at the Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala, Oct. 9 to Gotham Hall in New York.
ABC News was a big winner this year, earning nine Murrow’s, more than any broadcast news organization, including five for ABC Audio. The organization won the 2023 Murrow Award for Overall Excellence — Television Network, the Digital category (for the first time), and Overall Excellence in Radio. Additionally, World News Tonight with David Muir: Live from the Ukrainian Border won Best Newscast.
Here are other national network and radio news winners, which include CBS, CNN, NBC, and Vice News, among others.
