First Informers Award - Winner

WCVB-TV, Boston, Mass., Hearst Television


When they received word of a possible mass shooting at Brown University, the NewsCenter 5 team mobilized. Calling in extensive resources on a Saturday, they were the first to break into programming and stream on digital – ultimately staying on for six hours of wall-to-wall coverage. The WCVB team was quick to shift into public safety mode – delivering the critical details our audience needed to stay informed and safe.
