DENVER, Colo. (KOAA) — At News5, we strive every day to give you high quality stories and information you need to know. Over the weekend, News5 was recognized for our efforts.
News5 was awarded two Heartland Emmy's, one for News Excellence, and the other for a weather story.
The National Academy of Arts and Sciences recognizes a news department's overall operation, including the following:
- enterprise reporting
- breaking news
- coverage of community issues
- documentaries
The Heartland Emmy's cover all TV stations across five states, and this is the first time a southern Colorado station has won the award.
For the weather story, First Alert 5 Meteorologist Casey Dorn showed on a merry-go-round how a force called the Coriolis Effect affects our weather.
