VPR receives Murrow Award for Climate Change Reporting
The Rutland Herald reports that "Vermont Public Radio has been honored with a 2008 national Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in broadcast journalism" under "the category of Continuing Coverage for its comprehensive reporting on climate change in 2007." Indeed, "thirteen representative stories were chosen for the entry out of more than 50 stories, interviews, programs and commentaries, including the week-long series, 'The Changing Climate.' They included initiatives in the Vermont Legislature, coverage of the greenhouse gas emissions trial, a Vermont Edition program on carbon offsets, reports on the possible effects of climate change on Vermont's ski and maple industries, an interview with author Bill McKibben and even a story on 'Climate Change, the Musical.'"
