ATLANTA, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Scripps News, the national network owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), was honored with three 2024 National Headliner Awards, including a first-place award for its documentary on U.S.-Mexico border patrols, and third-place wins for reporting on Ukraine's stolen orphans and an investigation on Russia's ghost fleet. Headliner medallions are presented annually to outstanding writers, photographers, daily newspapers, magazines, graphic artists, radio and television stations and networks and news syndicates.

This firsthand experience provided a unique vantage point, enabling the documentary team to witness armed citizen patrols. The program featured a range of perspectives. In addition to citizen militiamen, the documentary crew spoke with U.S. border patrol, migrant aid groups, landowners along the border, a "coyote," who leads people across the border, and immigrants making the journey. Judges for the National Headliner Awards wrote: "A much needed approach to covering complicated news stories was found in these reports produced by Scripps News and the Los Angeles Times. The in-depth reporting of very opposite groups at the border shed light on people that we only hear about in soundbites. Taking viewers on the ground and hearing firsthand accounts while actually moving with the interview subjects on the ground was risky and exceptionally important. This is a fine example of what journalism is supposed to do. The collaborative effort showed accountability and allowed reporters in TV and print to showcase the best of both worlds with their varied approaches to covering a story." Watch new episodes of the Emmy-Award winning documentary series "In Real Life" Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
