Telling The Story

Awards season is underway in local TV news. Over the next few months, some of the most prestigious associations in journalism will present lists of winners and honor some of the best reporters and photojournalists in the field. Photojournalists Jed Gamber and Catherine Steward are off to a great start. This past week, Gamber and Steward each received one of the highest honors in the craft: being named NPPA Regional Photographer of the Year. Gamber captured the crown for the East region for his work at WBFF-TV in Baltimore, while Steward topped the Central region after a stellar year with WTVF-TV in Nashville. The award they won prizes consistency and versatility and honors an entire year's worth of powerful storytelling. Watch their work, and you will quickly see why: these two photojournalists care about awards far less than they care about their audience. Gamber and Steward are my guests of this episode of the Telling the Story podcast. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #37: Jed Gamber, WBFF-TV & Catherine Stewar
