Melissa Correa, Emmy award-winning reporter, KRGV-TV, Weslaco, and winner of Texas AP Broadcasters FOI Award for “Police Chief Shot”
Dr. Seema Yasmin, staff writer at The Dallas Morning News, a professor of public health in practice at The University of Texas at Dallas and 2014 Showcase Silver Award winner for “Ebola in Dallas”
At the Awards Lunch, the 2014 Showcase Award for Enterprise and Innovation winners, Charles E. Green Award winners, and 2015/2016 scholarship recipients were recognized. The award-winning journalists discussed what makes their news organizations dig further when news stories break, i.e., when spot coverage transforms into enterprise and the commitment that it entails.
