The Radio-Television Digital News Association is giving out
almost 600 regional Edward R. Murrow awards for excellence in journalism to TV
and radio station news operations.

The awards, being announced Thursday, will qualify
the winners for the national competition, with those winners being honored at a
dinner in New York in October.

The awards are given out in 14 categories, including
breaking news, investigative reporting and overall excellence, and are broken
out by medium (as in type of service, radio, TV or web), and by large and
small (as in market size).

The award is named after the iconic CBS newsman.
