The 47th annual Peter Lisagor Awards were held Friday, with WGN Radio bringing home two honors from the prestigious event.
John Williams and Pete Zimmerman took home the award for Best Interview (Audio or Video) for its coverage of how The Daily Northwestern uncovered the story about hazing inside the Northwestern University football program that ultimately led to the ouster of longtime head coach Pat Fitzgerald.
Additionally, WGN Radio won the award for Best Feature Reporting Single Story/Episode (Audio) for Dave Schwan’s report on “A Village to New Philadelphia: Freedom on the Illinois Prairie.”
