BEST NEWS STORY
WINNER:Awa Camara, Albanie Knight, & Andrew Bizon — Tupelo HS
The nat sound pop at the beginning with the governor was excellent, and butting that up with a solid stand-up was a great idea. The reporter was also telling the story and not leaning purely on the soundbites to do that for her. All in all, a fantastic and informative story I feel any station in the state would have no issues running!
