NHPR Wins Multiple PRNDI Awards

 

New Hampshire Public Radio received awards in multiple categories at the annual Public Radio News Directors Incorporated (PRNDI) conference and awards banquet in Philadelphia.  

The PRNDI awards recognize excellence in local and regional public radio reporting from across the nation. NHPR won accolades for its work in six categories — ranging from the hard-hitting Outside/In podcast series reporting on the impact of Canadian hydropower both north of the border and on northern New England, to a sports feature involving some unexpected New Hampshire champions in a lesser-known sport.  Awards in full:

These honors continue NHPR’s run of success at the national level. On June 19, the station earned a national Edward R. Murrow Award for “Overall Excellence” in the Small Market Radio category—the second consecutive year the Murrow Awards granted the overall excellence distinction to the NHPR newsroom.
“As our newsroom continues to expand, we remain committed to producing the highest quality content in all areas—from newscasts to podcasts to talk shows,” said NHPR News Director Dan Barrick. “Our team of journalists strives to bring compelling, innovative work to our listeners, and we’re proud of what we’ve managed to accomplish.”

Formed in the 1980s, PRNDI represents public media newsrooms across the country and encourages improved news, information services and programming in public media. Along with the annual PRNDI awards, the organization works to provide ongoing training and enhanced communication among all professionals in local public media newsrooms.

[NOTE: Chicago Public Radio/WBEZ received a First Place award for Continuing Coverage, for its series “Every Other Hour”, exploring gun violence in Chicago. NHPR’s Politics & Policy Reporter Lauren Chooljian, formerly with WBEZ, contributed to the award-winning series with a piece called “Do I Look Like I’m Packing?”, tracking whether Chicago’s 50 aldermen carry guns.]
