WHYY News has received 18 Professional Keystone Media Awards for its work in 2023, with coverage areas ranging from Philadelphia’s historic mayoral election to health care inequity and environmental justice.
The Keystone Awards recognize “journalism that consistently provides relevance, integrity, and initiative in serving readers and audiences, and faithfully fulfills its First Amendment rights/responsibilities.” The awards honor small to large media organizations throughout Pennsylvania.
“WHYY is uniquely known as the most trusted news source in the market. So, on this basis, it is no surprise that it has been recognized by the Keystone Media Awards as a top performer,” said WHYY President and CEO Bill Marrazzo. “But what is particularly exciting about this year’s mix of awards is the full range of journalists whose work is noted for excellence. Whether our reporters are more seasoned or more junior, in a digital or more traditional broadcast, their best-in-class product shines at every level.”
“WHYY News’ public service journalism is once again recognized by the Keystone Awards and deservedly so,” said Sarah Glover, WHYY vice president of news and civic dialogue. “The news staff is dedicated to serving the news and information needs of our audiences across Greater Philadelphia. It is fitting that our journalism is being celebrated by our journalism peers.”
WHYY News placed in more than a dozen categories in its division.
WHYY was also recognized as the 2024 Outstanding News Operation in Philadelphia in the Radio 1 category.
