From WTIP North Shore Community Radio - May 16, 2025

WTIP North Shore Community Radio has won two prestigious Regional  Edward R. Murrow awards in two different categories: 

• Breaking News Coverage - “Structure Fire Destroys Historic Lutsen Lodge Along Lake Superior,” produced by Kirsten Wisniewski and Kalli Hawkins.
• Writing for Broadcast - “Owls’ Silent Flight,” written by Chel Anderson for the original feature  North Woods Naturalist, which airs on North Shore Morning. 

The RTDNA Edward R. Murrow Awards are among the most prestigious in broadcast and digital news. 

 In response to the award recognition, WTIP Executive Director Matthew Brown said, “We are immensely  proud of our news team for their live coverage of this devastating fire, and Chel Anderson, for her outstanding  ‘Owls’ Silent Flight’ piece.” Brown added that, “our team of staff and volunteers consistently create outstanding content that is vital for our listeners, on so many levels.” 

 The Radio Television Digital News Association has been honoring outstanding achievements in electronic journalism with the Edward R. Murrow Awards since 1971. Award recipients demonstrate the spirit of excellence that Murrow set as a standard for the profession of broadcast and digital journalism. 

 Regional winners automatically advance to the national round of the competition. National winners will be announced in August and celebrated at our Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala in New York City on October 13.
