HARTFORD, Conn. — The Edward R. Murrow Awards are prestigious recognitions within broadcast and digital news and FOX61 has received one of the national awards for Excellence in Writing.
This award comes after a series of reports from reporter Jim Altman's compilation called “From Pen to Paper to Pixels: Jim Altman Writes 2022.”
When the award was first announced, Jim Altman received congratulations from the President and general manager of FOX61 as well as the News Director.
"As the most decorated reporter in New England, we are proud of Jimmy's daily work to serve the greater good of our Connecticut community," said Humberto Hormaza, president and general manager of FOX61, in a statement. "The recognition of a prestigious National Edward Murrow Award is a first for him and so well deserved. Congratulations, Jimmy!"
“Jim has a keen eye for a good story, an interesting character, and just the right word," FOX61 News Director Dana Rosengard said in a statement. "We are proud of his work every day and very excited for this incredible recognition of his efforts.”
In May, FOX61 received two Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for Excellence in Innovation and Excellence in Writing.
