Once more, the news staff of the former WMUB has cleaned up in awards for work done in 2008. This time it’s the Cincinnati Society of Professional Journalists. Here’s the list, as published this week in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
- Tana Weingartner, WMUB-FM, for “Short Feature, Radio”
- Gary Scott, WMUB-FM, for “Long Feature, Radio”
- Cheri Lawson, WMUB-FM, for “Sports Coverage, Radio”, “Business Coverage, Radio” and “Public Affairs, Radio”
In other posts I’ve mentioned other awards the staff received from the Ohio Associated Press, Public Radio News Directors, and Ohio SPJ. That incarnation of the news team at WMUB was put together by John Hingsbergen and me following a 2004 consultation with Mark Moran of KBAQ in Phoenix.
With supervision from John, direction from Gary Scott and execution from Tana Weingartner and Cheri Lawson, that team has consistently won more awards than any other radio station in Ohio. (Not everyone on the team wants me to point that out, I should note).
Well done, colleagues.

When you post things like this it only serves to remind me of how much I miss WMUB as it was.
And The Help Desk in particular (of course).
