GBH reporter Adam Reilly, a Swampscott resident, recently earned a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for sports reporting in 2020.
Reilly’s piece “As winter sports resume parents and schools Face a Painful Choice” won the sports reporting category. Told in part through his daughter’s experiences, the story looked at the return of Massachusetts indoor high school sports during a surge of COVID cases.
Awarded by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), the Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards pay tribute to important high-impact local journalism and are among the most prestigious awards in the news industry.
