Receiving a 2024 duPont Silver Baton meant a lot - because it highlights the impact local reporting can have to hold those in power to account. Have a story that does that? Enter for #duPont2025 at https://t.co/giAnsm9fFn. Deadline July 1. #passingthebaton @columbiajourn

Thank you to the Peabody Awards for this incredible recognition - and congratulations to my NBC DFW teammates on "Against All Enemies".

Thanks to our partners at @NBCNightlyNews for featuring our reporting on how high speeds are claiming too many lives on our roads - and what might be done to change that. @NBCDFW

[NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas @NBCNightlyNews]

.@NBCDFW analyzed federal data and found that, over 5 years, Dallas has the highest traffic fatality rate among America’s 10 largest cities.

The number one factor in the deadly wrecks? Speed.

@ScottNBC5 reports on the impact of this data and what experts say could help.

[Scott Friedman @ScottNBC5]

Thank you @DavidZipper for taking time to walk and drive some of Dallas’ most dangerous roads with us - and for sharing your thoughts on how we might begin to make our neighborhoods safer. @NBCDFW #DFWDrivenToDeath

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

This is the best series on road safety I’ve ever seen.

Last week @nbcdfw ran a multi-part investigation into Dallas' epidemic of car crashes.

Rather than blame drivers, the story delves into speed, street design, and Vision Zero's failures.

Exciting news to share! Thank you to the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Awards jurors for this nomination. I could not be more proud of the NBC DFW team that worked so hard on this documentary. @NBCDFW @NBCUniversal

@2_1_5_4Life Thank you for reaching out. Please send me an email with details at: [email protected]

@DTxG07 @NBCDFW Actually, the emissions portion of the inspection will remain in the large urban Texas counties that don’t meet federal air quality standards. The emissions tests are federally required by the EPA. Only the safety portion of the inspection is going away next year.

[Scott Friedman @ScottNBC5]

Texas DPS reveals a third employee has been suspended in the widening fake inspection scandal inside the agency. Arrest warrant paperwork obtained by NBC5 Investigates details $110,000+ in alleged illicit payments to another DPS staffer. @NBCDFW

2023 duPont winners @ScottNBC5 @ParksDigsIn @nbcdfw pushed lawmakers to close a scary Texas loophole: paper license plates used to create untraceable "ghost cars." Think you've got a winning project? The deadline to submit is only two days away https://t.co/nDaBiucF9K

Great to be in DC with the team to accept a @USCAnnenberg Walter Cronkite Award for political journalism for our documentary project “Against All Enemies”. Powerful to hear the stories of journalists across the country working to counter disinformation. @NBCDFW

@peterwklein @NBCNews @NBCInvestigates Congratulations. Welcome to the NBC family!

[Scott Friedman @ScottNBC5]

Texas will no longer allow continuing ed. credit for law enforcement classes from a group teaching county sheriffs they outrank the FBI. This comes after a state investigation stemming from questions raised in our reporting of "Against All Enemies".@NBCDFW

Records indicate the Allen outlet mall gunman signed his TX driver's license & other docs with a Nazi logo. A reminder law enforcement experts say that mass shooters often leak small clues about ideology or intentions months or years in advance. @NBCDFW

Texas Legislature on the verge of eliminating vehicle safety inspections — but the state would still collect fees we pay for inspections. And in the big DFW counties cars would still need an annual emissions inspection. @NBCDFW

@ManijehM Please email me some more details about location/issues etc. [email protected]

[Scott Friedman @ScottNBC5]

State records suggest hundreds of fake vehicle inspections were happening right under the nose of an auditor from the state agency in charge of enforcing the inspection rules -- raising questions about TX DPS efforts to combat the problem. @NBCDFW

Texas DPS announces a crack down on vehicle inspection stations conducting fake inspections - one week after an NBC5 Investigation revealed major gaps in a state system allowing cars with fake inspections to get real license plates. @NBCDFW https://t.co/dDw5B0LsFx

[Scott Friedman @ScottNBC5]

The TX DPS director director is pledging to help fix the gaps we uncovered in the state's vehicle inspection system. As we revealed the state's computer system does not prevent cars with fake safety and emissions inspections from getting plates. @NBCDFW
