It's been a monumental year in news - and the journalists at Graham Media have been at the heart of it all, as the storytellers who keep communities connected, informed and engaged.
From investigative stories that hold law enforcement, elected officials, and high-profile newsmakers accountable for their actions, to severe weather sweeping through our viewing areas, journalists have followed every step of the way.
Graham Media has deepened efforts to strengthen our storytelling. And now it's time to celebrate the achievements.
The inaugural "Grahammies" award project was a way to celebrate some of the great work our newsrooms have produced over the past year.
We asked stations for their best work and a series of judging determined the winners. A video, linked below, announces the news, as well.
