WVTF Public Radio/RADIO IQ receives Sigma Delta Chi journalism award
Virginia Tech's WVTF Public Radio/RADIO IQ has received a 2010 Sigma Delta Chi Award for excellence in journalism from the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
This year, winners were chosen from over 1,400 entries in categories covering print, radio, television, and online. The awards recognize outstanding work published or broadcast in 2010.
Dating back to 1932, the awards originally honored six individuals for contributions to journalism. The current program began in 1939, when the society granted the first Distinguished Service Awards. The honors later became the Sigma Delta Chi Awards.
Reporter / producer Sandy Hausman received a Feature Reporting (101+ Market) award for her piece, “Kudzu: Friend, Foe -- or Food?”
Awards will be presented in New Orleans during the joint SPJ-Radio Television Digital News Association conference.
