CINCINNATI, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ For journalism that seeks truth, examines inequities, serves the public and demonstrates the indispensability of a free and trustworthy press, WTMJ, the Milwaukee-based NBC station owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), has won a Walter Cronkite Award for its 2020 investigative series, Unemployment System Collapse.
During its monthslong investigation launched in March 2020, the TMJ4 I-Team regularly reported on Wisconsin s overly complicated and neglected unemployment system, which collapsed under the pressure of the pandemic. The team s investigation found that policies implemented years before, coupled with missteps made early in the pandemic, led to thousands of people being stuck waiting for unemployment benefits, some becoming homeless in the process.

CINCINNATI, May 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ WFTS, the Tampa-based ABC station owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), has won the top broadcast honor in The American Legion s Fourth Estate Awards for its 2020 investigative series The Price of Protection: Problems with Court-Ordered Guardianship.
Over the course of seven years, the ABC Action News I-team investigation examined problems with many of Florida s court-ordered guardians who victimize vulnerable seniors while profiting from their care. Their reporting, which culminated in the multi-episode broadcast series The Price of Protection, has resulted in vast changes in the system, including shakeups in state agency leadership and reforms passed by the state s legislature to protect vulnerable seniors.
