“Those who want proof of the important role journalists play in our society need only look at the work we highlight with the Edward R. Murrow Awards,” said RTDNA Executive Director Mike Cavender. “This is where real news happens.”

“The Murrow Awards are among the most respected journalism awards in the world,” EastIdahoNews.com news director Nate Eaton said. “I’m especially humbled that we won the ‘Overall Excellence’ award. We want to consistently provide news and information to our community and being recognized for doing that is such a cool honor.”
