Newsroom Wins Record Number of Awards The WFIU-WTIU News team has been awarded seven regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for its on-air and online reporting in 2015—a record for the newsroom, and the second-most of any radio newsroom in America this year. The awards were announced by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), an organization that recognizes outstanding achievements in electronic journalism as judged by a panel of professional journalists. The awards included the Overall Excellence award for the WFIU/WTIU Newsroom, the Feature Reporting award for “New Diploma Requirements Could Leave Behind Some Of Indiana’s Learners,” and the Investigative Reporting award for “Why Are Some Charter Schools Losing Title I Funding?” Other categories the WFIU-WTIU News team won awards in were for Breaking News, News Series, Newscast, and Website. Among radio stations in all regions of the country and all market sizes, only one station won more regional Murrows than WFIU-WTIU this year. “This newsroom, led by Sara Wittmeyer, has been delivering substantive reports about our entire state and we all are proud to see them recognized this way,” said WFIUWTIU General Manager Perry Metz. “Right now they are leading the effort to establish a statewide news network for public broadcasting.” Additionally, the news team picked up 25 awards in April at the Society of Professional Journalists’ Best in Indiana Journalism Contest. WFIU won First Place awards in 12 categories that included Radio Feature Story, Radio Documentary or Special, and Radio Continuing Coverage.

Dick Bishop, the WFIU host with the longest tenure in the station’s history, died on May 3rd after a long illness. He was 78. Dick joined the station as a student announcer in 1957. Two years later, he established WFIU’s jazz presence with a daily 15-minute program. For most of the 55 years that followed, he worked as part of the administration of Indiana University and the IU Foundation while moonlighting as a jazz host for WFIU. Dick founded the popular-song program Afterglow, which remains a Friday night institution on our airwaves. His most recent program, which aired from 2012 to 2015, was Standards by Starlight. In announcing his passing to staff, general manager Perry Metz recognized Dick for his “mild manner, love of the music, and broad knowledge of jazz musicians. . . . He loved WFIU and was always interested in how the station was doing and what he could do to help.”
