“I fear we are careening toward a future with fewer and fewer journalists to do the expensive, difficult work of original reporting — going to places, talking to people, digging up information, covering important issues and events, providing context…” https://t.co/nNPZLHscXe

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."

Congratulations, @ATLNewsFirst! #GrayProud

@elonmusk As a local Journalist in Georgia, I hope the new algorithm elevates posts like mine. Over the past few years, it feels like no one ever sees my posts. @elonmusk

A police officer arrested and his chief caught on body camera asking a subordinate to give a small business owner a break instead of a fine. This investigation covers a lot. ~> https://t.co/Rh8AwAbBZ0

If you're a parent with a special needs child, you've likely thought about this scenario and what will happen when you're no long around. It's scary, heartbreaking, and systemic.

Judges’ comments:

[Brendan Keefe - Atlanta News First @BrendanKeefe]

@THR They published the whole thing -- transcript & 40 minutes of the interview -- which is the only way you know what was cut out. Every news story is edited for time (I've been doing this for 36 years). Your own articles use quotes, not whole interviews.

[Judge Stephen Dillard @JudgeDillard]

Every American should watch every second of this video.

Thank you, @BenSasse.
