RADIO ARTE IS A 2008 STUDS TERKEL MEDIA AWARD WINNER!
Terkel Awards highlight reporters who take risks in covering social issues by offering new or unusual perspectives on topics of general concern, from housing to neighborhood safety and beyond. The awards honor journalists for going the extra mile in sourcing stories and thoughtful treatment of context. The awards reward a body of work rather than a single article or series, and go to journalists at any stage of their career. Honorees also include Tom McNamee (Chicago Sun-Times) & Dawn Turner Trice (Chicago Tribune). As stated by the Community Media Workshop newsletter "Radio Arte, 90.5 FM Chicago's "Latino-owned, youth-driven, bilingual public radio station" is putting news at the center of an ambitious expansion of programming. First Voice, in English and Spanish, Sin Papeles (Undocumented), Homofrecuencia and, since January, simulcast public affairs shows in partnership with national outlets such as Hispanic Information and Television Network and Radio Bilingue make this a station to watch!"
