We're thrilled to be recognized by the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA) with three national awards for local news and programs, including two first place awards for our Indiana Public Radio news team! 🎉

🥇 In the News Feature category, reporter Thomas Ouellette talked with the few tenants left at an apartment complex in Anderson that had been abandoned by its owner – its management office physically nailed shut – and the poor conditions that created. The state of Indiana is currently suing the complex’s owner.

🥇 In the Newscast category, an informative local newscast from IPR “Morning Edition” host Stan Sollars also took first place. Sollars has been hosting “Morning Edition” on IPR for thirty years.

🥈 Ball State PBS received a second place award in the “Audience Engagement” category for its digital series, “Health is Wealth.” Local host Paul Brown talked with local experts on wellness topics, exploring fitness, mental health, nutrition, and prevention.
