WTMJ is proud to be the recipient of two 2019 Regional Edward R. Murrow awards, presented by the RTDNA. The awards were given for ‘Breaking News Coverage’ and ‘Hard News’ in the Large Market Radio division:
Breaking News Coverage – ‘Fire at Trinity Lutheran.’ In 2018, the historic Trinity Lutheran Church caught fire during the afternoon rush hour. As smoke billowed from the iconic church, the WTMJ team covered the event with reporters on scene as well as Wisconsin’s Afternoon News hosts John Mercure and Melissa Barclay anchoring from the studio.
Hard News – ‘The Power of the Prison Ministry.’ WTMJ’s Melissa Barclay visited the Milwaukee County Jail to learn how the prison ministry helps inmates. Click to hear her story:
