"I am incredibly proud of all the hard work and high caliber journalism that everyone in the St. Louis Public Radio newsroom does," said Executive Editor Shula Neuman. "It's always great when that work is recognized for its excellence. I am particularly proud for the recognition we received for Living #Fergugon. That was more than six months worth of work that involved nearly every aspect of our newsroom. The product was very different from our usual work flow, so it's good to know that the work resonated with our audience as well."
There will be no awards ceremony event this year from the Missouri Broadcaster's Association, whose mission is to promote “the success and prosperity of Missouri’s broadcasters and the survival of the broadcasting industry.”
