The NBC affiliate won in the category of excellence in video for a piece on a local man attempting to build the world’s largest ice carousel. Chad Nelson, Jeff Wiltgen, David Porter and Rob Collett teamed up to shoot the feature that was reported by Boyd Huppert.
MPR News took first place in the category of continuing coverage for its work on the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor.
