Atlanta News First recently won four 2026 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards by the Radio Television Digital News Association (@RTDNA), including the prestigious Overall Excellence award.
The station earned regional honors in four categories: Overall Excellence, Excellence in Video for Powerless, Excellence in Digital for HOA Nightmares, and Excellence in News Series for Wrong House Raids.
"Local journalism is essential, and this newsroom proves that every day. At a time when trust in journalism is more important than ever, this recognition is especially meaningful,” said WANF News Director Kim Saxon. “These awards recognize not just individual stories, but a culture of journalism built on curiosity, accountability, urgency, and purpose. I couldn’t be prouder of this team."
