We’re thrilled to share that Rhode Island PBS and The Public’s Radio have won two Edward R. Murrow Awards! Congratulations to our production teams and collaborators on this exciting achievement.

The Edward R. Murrow Awards, presented by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), are among the most prestigious honors in journalism.

This award is a testament to the hard work of our teams and the importance of public media in fostering an informed and engaged public.
