More than 40 students from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Journalism & Mass Communications received the Eric Sevareid Award from the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association.
The Eric Sevareid Awards are named for the North Dakota-born and University of Minnesota-educated journalist best known for his work as a correspondent for CBS Radio and Television. Each year, the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association presents awards to the best work done by broadcast news operations and journalists working in small, medium and large markets in its six-state region on radio, television and online. This region includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. A distinguished panel of judges is made up of journalists and educators who live outside of these states to help ensure impartiality.
