WASHINGTON (KFGO) – KFGO News has again been honored by the world’s largest professional broadcast news organization with a regional Edward R. Murrow Award, named after the legendary CBS News radio and television reporter.
The Radio-Television Digital News Association has recognized KFGO News in the breaking news category for continuous coverage of the rioting in downtown Fargo last May. It came after a day of peaceful protests following the death of George Floyd. The entry will now be considered for a national Murrow award.
