Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) has received three prestigious 2024 National Edward R. Murrow Awards: two for Scripps News and one for WRTV in Richmond, Virginia.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) announced the honors Thursday afternoon during a virtual awards ceremony.\nScripps News won in the television network category of \"continuing coverage\" for \"In Real Life: Injected.\" In the documentary, Scripps News National Investigative Correspondent Lori Jane Gliha revealed that there is no uniform protocol in the U.S. for paramedics to administer the powerful ketamine sedative on patients during police encounters.
