The Edward R. Murrow Awards are presented by the Radio-Television News Directors Association in recognition of what the Association terms "outstanding achievements in electronic journalism."
Awards given out include the following types:
There are also technical awards for a handful of disciplines:
The awards are further subdivided into separate competitions for TV networks, large and small TV markets, radio networks, and large and small radio markets. Thus, there are a total of six "Excellence" awards in a given year, six "Newscast" awards, and so on.
Submissions are judged by a panel of professional journalists. Entries from individual stations are judged regionally.
