WCAX-TV has won three journalism awards from the Radio-Television News Directors Association, the world's largest professional organization exclusively serving the electronic news profession. The awards were announced last week in Boston at an event hosted by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA).
Journalists from all New England markets, including Boston, Hartford, and Providence, competed for recognition. WCAX received a first place award for ‘Mission Afghanistan’ with Darren Perron and Lance Mackenzie, an award for continuing coverage on the Kidnapping and Murder of Pat O’Hagan from Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, and a first place award for their Sports Spotlight series.
WCAX was the only Vermont television news station to be recognized at the event. Anson Tebbetts, WCAX New Director, noted, "The true honor goes to our reporters, photographers, editors, and producers. Together, our team has captured the stories of Vermonters in a way that is not only compelling and authentic, but that rises to the top, even when competing among major markets. These awards belong to these dedicated individuals and our viewers, who invite us into our homes day after day."
WCAX-TV is the CBS affiliate in Burlington, VT and is owned and operated by Mt. Mansfield Television, Inc.
