KSAT-TV, Graham Media Group’s ABC affiliate in San Antonio, Texas, won a Lone Star Emmy Award for their coverage of the Uvalde elementary school massacre and its year-long aftermath.

Reporter Leigh Waldman, Photojournalist Gavin Nesbitt, Editor Valerie Gomez, and Digital Journalist Andrew Wilson accepted the award on November 11 on behalf of a larger team from the KSAT newsroom that created the special, "One Year In: Uvalde."

"This was a labor of love for a community who went through the unimaginable. Everyone in this team wanted to make sure people heard the stories and remembered the names of the 21 lost in Uvalde," stated editor Valerie Gomez while accepting the award on behalf of the team.

"One Year In: Uvalde" was a look back at the year following the tragedy at Robb Elementary in 2022. In the one-hour broadcast and digital special, KSAT examines the past 12 months, the victims and survivors, and how their legacy spreads outside their local community. In the one-hour broadcast and digital streaming special, KSAT examined the past 12 months, the victims and survivors, and how their legacy continues to spread outside their local community.

KSAT sat with the families of the victims to see how they have been coping for the last year. Most have turned to activism to ensure their children are not forgotten. Many shared how they chose to honor their children and create lasting memories of the 21 victims. Expanded coverage of these tributes was featured on KSAT.com, and also included an updated investigation into what happened.

"We are incredibly honored and humbled for this recognition, but this has never been about us,” reporter Leigh Waldman clarified. “This is for our 21+1."

The Emmy Award-winning "One Year In: Uvalde" special is available to view on KSAT.com, KSAT’s app on Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV and Google TV and on KSAT’s YouTube channel.
