HARTFORD, Conn. — The FOX61 News team won two 2022 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for two of the stories produced.
The Radio Television Digital News Association, which gives out the awards, recognized the work of Jimmy Altman and Sean McKeever for their story "Remember Their Names."
Altman also won for a composite entry of several of his stories from last year.
The winner for Excellence in Video, 'Remember their Names,' told the story of eight fallen service members whose remains were unclaimed and the efforts of local veterans and state officials to give them a proper burial.
The fallen included men from the Vietnam War, the Korean War, World War II, and World War I.
Altman's composite entry won for Excellence in Writing.
It included a story about a teen being discharged from the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain; a story about inmates that help train dogs for law enforcement; and a man with Parkinson's disease who, through his paintings, helps himself and others.
Both Altman and McKeever have been nominated for Emmy Awards this year as well. Altman has won 42 Emmys and McKeever has won 10. The pair won Murrow awards in 2021 as well. Altman also won one in 2020.
Each regional winner will advance to compete for the National Edward R. Murrow Awards, the winners of which will be announced this summer. All National Murrow winners will be invited to the Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala, to be held Oct. 10 at Gotham Hall in New York City.
