Students in the School of Communication at UNO attended the 2022 Midwest Journalism Conference and returned with 18 Eric Sevareid awards, surpassing previous records.

The Eric Sevareid Awards are named for the North Dakota-born and University of Minnesota-educated journalist best known for his work as a correspondent for CBS Radio and Television. Each year, the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association presents awards to the best work done by broadcast news operations and journalists working in small, medium and large markets in our six-state region on radio, television and online.

The journalists earned first-time awards in the newscast, spot news, sports program, and social media categories. The two-day event, held on the University of Minnesota campus, also showcased scholars and broadcast journalists sharing experience in the newsroom, powershifts in the workplace, election and court reporting.
