Congrats to our very own Craig LeMoult for winning not one, but two (!) national 2015 Edward R. Murrow Awards. Craig's work at WSHU in Connecticut was recognized for excellence in sports reporting for a feature on a New Haven boxing gym's efforts to combat youth violence, and for use of sound/video for a restorative piece following the school shooting in Sandy Hook. The Sandy Hook story aired nationally on NPR and also locally on WGBH just after Craig joined WGBH News this past November.
Of course we are thrilled to now have Craig's talents in our local public media newsroom here in Boston.
Check out his most recent stories for WGBH Radio, and take a listen to his award-winning stories below:
