Late spring signals that it is time for awards season once again here in our Chapter, with the 52nd Northern California Area Emmy® Awards Gala in San Francisco on June 3. But, before we get to the Emmys, we have another distinguished honor to spotlight first – the 2023 Edward R. Murrow Awards.
Throughout May, and week by week, organizers of the Edward R. Murrow Awards have announced the regional winners of this year’s competition. The San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences represents Region 2 for the Murrow honors.
Congratulations to our Region 2 winners!
