WIVB News 4 wins Murrow Award for ‘Excellence in Video'
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — WIVB News 4 recently won a regional Edward R. Murrow Award for 'Excellence in Video' for our December story on the historic Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo. The Edward R. Murrow Awards are announced every year by the Radio Television Digital News Association. They cast the spotlight on local and national stories that uphold the association's ethics while showcasing the importance and impact of journalism on the community. A behind-the-scenes look into the 270-acre cemetery and how it has grown over the past 176 years was brought to local TV screens by the work of anchor and reporter Marlee Tuskes, photojournalist Allison Staebell and senior executive producer Natasha Yurek. The 10-minute piece takes a deep dive into what it takes to run and maintain the cemetery — which is home to 13th President of the United States, Millard Fillmore, famous singer Rick James and the first Black congresswoman, Shirley Chisholm — by hearing from the people who do it every day. Forest Lawn is described as a place for people to come home to and a place where stories can live on. News 4 is now being considered in the national Murrow Awards competition. The winners will be announced in August. Watch '700 Seasons: The Story of Forest Lawn' in the video player above. Katie Skoog joined the News 4 team in April 2024.
