Award-winning journalist and former NBC News Network anchor Ann Curry received the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award in Broadcast Journalism at Washington State University’s 46th annual Murrow Symposium.
“I can’t tell you how deeply touching this is,” Curry told the audience inside the CUB Senior Ballroom Tuesday night. “This award is so prestigious precisely because it is named for a journalist with high ideals.”
This year’s event on April 5–6 focuses on advocating for under-represented groups and features 24 sessions of panel discussions, workshops, and keynote speakers, including award-winning journalist Ann Curry.
