WJXT has been awarded two 2022 Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for Excellence.

The Edward R. Murrow Award is among the most prestigious in broadcast and digital news, and is presented to those who demonstrate excellence in their profession. It recognizes the best electronic journalism produced by radio, television and online news organizations around the world.

In the area of Large Market, WJXT-TV, News4JAX, won a 2022 Regional Murrow award for Breaking News Coverage. On the morning of May 27, 2021, morning rush-hour drivers faced an emergency shutdown of the normally busy Buckman Bridge.

Florida Department of Transportation workers were forced to make emergency repairs after a portion of the bridge was damaged. This quickly became a safety concern and caused a traffic nightmare.

From The Morning Show through News4JAX at Noon, 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., the news team at WJXT provided important safety information and repair status updates for commuters.

In the category of Digital, News4JAX.com also won the Regional Murrow award. The website has a wealth of information for people living in and interested in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

From the pandemic to social justice, the environment and the legislature, News4JAX.com provides rich detail about the impacts of such issues. It is a commitment to the best coverage of news, weather, community engagement and public service.
