KHOU TV Wins 2010 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award

Dallas (January 22, 2010) -- Belo Corp. announced today that two of its television stations were honored with 2010 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton Awards for excellence in broadcast journalism at a ceremony held last night at Columbia University. KHOU-TV in Houston and WWL-TV in New Orleans were two of only 14 winners chosen to receive this award which is one of the most prestigious in broadcast journalism. Since 2000, Belo television stations have received 11 duPont-Columbia Awards, more than any other station group.

KHOU's winning piece, Under Fire: Discrimination and Corruption in the Texas National Guard, was the culmination of a two-year investigation that exposed widespread discrimination and fraud in the Texas National Guard. This is the fourth duPont Silver Baton the KHOU 11 Defenders team has won since the investigative unit was launched in 1998. KHOU recipients of the 2010 duPont-Columbia Award are investigative reporter Mark Greenblatt, executive producer David Raziq and photojournalist Keith Tomshe.

"Belo's ongoing commitment to investigative reporting remains an important cornerstone of our news organizations," said Dunia A. Shive, Belo's president and Chief Executive Officer. "We are honored and grateful for the acknowledgement of KHOU's and WWL's excellent reporting."

KHOU TV has won a national Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA).

KHOU, the CBS station in Houston, was recognized with a Murrow in the large-market television category for its in-depth coverage of the slaughter of thousands of U.S. horses in Mexico for food and the deplorable conditions facing these animals while en route to slaughter. This is the fourth national Murrow KHOU has received since 2000.
