The Edward R. Murrow Awards are presented by the Radio Television Digital News Association (formerly the Radio-Television News Directors Association) in recognition of what the Association terms "outstanding achievements in electronic journalism."

Judging

Submissions are judged by a panel of professional journalists. Entries from individual stations are judged regionally. The winners from each region are given a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award and entered into a pool of nominees for the national awards. It is possible for the judges to decide that none of the entries in a given category merit an award, in which case none will be offered.

Entry Divisions

Starting in 2015 with the addition of student awards, there were nine divisions[1] of National Edward R. Murrow Award winners. There are two divisions of local radio, local television, and online organizations based on the size of the media market they serve. These media market sizes are determined by Nielsen for radio[2] and television[3].
