Stories about Austin’s godfather of disco, how families went on “bear hunts” to help deal with the anxieties of the pandemic, as well as documentaries about the long history of Asian American communities in Texas and the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on Latino communities around the state, are among the six KUT News and “Texas Standard” projects recognized in the 2021 edition of the Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards.
KUT News and “Texas Standard” won four and two awards respectively in the Region 6 (Oklahoma and Texas) large market radio category. Regional winners automatically advance to the national Edward R. Murrow Awards competition, which will be presented in October.
