▼ Global Edmonton Wins Four RTNDA Awards!                                        

Global Edmonton is #1 with viewers across northern Alberta, and now we've been recognized by our peers for excellence in news coverage.

This past Saturday, the Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) bestowed four prestigious Prairie Regional Awards on Global Edmonton.

The award for Best Short Feature went to Su-Ling Goh for her touching story about an Edmonton family's struggle to deal with the loss of one of their twin baby boys.

Global Edmonton also captured top honours in the Long Feature category for our half-hour special Black Friday: 20 Years Later - a look back at the 1987 tornado that devastated Alberta's capital, and the lasting effect it had on survivors and victims' families.

We also won in the Best Continuing Coverage category for our initial and followup coverage of July 2007's massive fire in the MacEwan neighbourhood in south Edmonton.

And our Bob Layton received Best Editorial honours for his take on Edmonton's new city council.

Global Edmonton also received an Honourable Mention for our live coverage of November 2007's charity harness race at Northlands featuring our own Lynda Steele and Gord Steinke.

RTNDA Canada represents Canada's electronic journalists. It is made up of over 400 news directors, reporters, producers, educators, students and industry associates across the country.
