Multipass RHS feature 14

Seven News US Bureau Chief Mike Amor and camera operator Arron Hage earned the award for their special report Saving the Salton Sea.

The report is about the drying up and pollution of California’s largest lake and restoration projects introduced to preserve the waterway – one of the most important spots on the world map for birds.

On accepting his third Edward R. Murrow, Amor said: “It’s always rewarding to have our work recognised on the international stage, especially by an organisation like the Radio Television Digital News Association.”

The Edward R. Murrow Awards recognise the best electronic journalism produced by radio, television and online news organisations around the world.

Regional winners automatically advance to the national Edward R. Murrow Awards, to be judged in June.
