Global Edmonton has won seven Radio Television Digital News Association Awards (RTDNA) in the Prairie region. Four of the awards are for coverage of the chaotic attack that saw a police officer stabbed and pedestrians struck by a U-Haul in the downtown core.
“What tremendous wins for Edmonton’s best news team. Year after year, Global Edmonton has led the way in telling the stories which matter to the city, to the broader community, our viewers, listeners and readers. We are very proud of our team,” said Kenton Boston, VP of news and information for Corus Entertainment in western Canada.
