WUNC's 'Eugenics Compensation' Wins Murrow Award For Investigative Reporting

RTDNA

WUNC is happy to announce that the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) has awarded the station with an Edward R. Murrow Award for Investigative Reporting in a large market radio division.

Last year, Eric Mennel did an in-depth story about people in North Carolina being denied compensation for state-sponsored eugenics. It was one of several stories by WUNC that won a regional Murrow Award earlier this year.

Check out Mennel's award-winning story here.
