CBS News has earned some silverware as the network announced that it was honored with five 2022 Gracie Awards from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.
The organization recognizes individual accomplishment and programming by, for, and about women in all aspects of media and entertainment.
“48 Hours” earned two awards, with Omar Villafranca receiving recognition for the investigation into the murder of Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery.
Meanwhile, Troy Roberts earned the second award for the show for the story of a Russian girl adopted by an American couple who brought her back to Moscow after they said she tried to kill her little brother.
“60 Minutes” earned the other award for Lesley Stahl’s report from inside Rwanda, where mountain gorillas, who were heading for extinction, are now on the rise, drawing well-heeled tourists and stimulating the local economy.
Finally, CBS News Radio took home two, including an individual honor for “CBS News Weekend Roundup” anchor Allison Keyes and its breaking news coverage of the fall of Afghanistan led by reporter Cami McCormick and anchor Steve Kathan.
