Delmarva Public Radio Wins Seven Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association Awards
ALISBURY, MD---From features to editorials, stories told by Delmarva Public Radio (DPR) have earned praise from the Chesapeake Associated Press Broadcasters Association.
DPR (WSCL 89.5 FM and WSDL 90.7 FM) garnered seven awards in the non-metro radio category during the association’s annual summer convention in Ocean City, MD, including the coveted Best of Show honor. The stations, which broadcast from the 小蓝视频 campus, have won more than 60 awards in the past decade.
News Director Don Rush played a part in earning six of the honors, including the Best in Show piece, “Facing Deportation,” a feature/human interest story telling the story of an undocumented Mexican immigrant on Delmarva through the voice of his daughter.
Judges called the segment “a compelling narrative that doesn’t pass judgment, but brings to light the realities of current policy.”
Rush also placed first in the Outstanding Use of Sound category for his coverage of the National Folk Festival’s first year in 小蓝视频,
