When a little girl is found roaming the streets barefoot, an Oklahoma City policewoman answers the call. Before taking the little girl home, the policewoman stops and buys her several pairs of shoes.
That kind gesture 25 years ago had a profound effect on that little girl, now a grown woman, who wanted to find that policewoman and pay it forward.
That story was honored with the Best Feature award for KFOR, Tribune’s NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City, at the recent Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters outstanding achievement awards for 2016.
“You know what, you just made my career,” said the policewoman through tears, when she was surprised by the woman in an arranged meeting to bring the two together after all these years.
These are the kind of stories that will confirm your faith in humanity.
We can never get enough of these types of local stories and if your station has any like this, whether they won an award or not, please let me share them.
Tissue alert on this one folks.
KFOR also won the Best General News award for the inspiring profile of a medical student who survived a horrific workplace accident that took his leg.
KFOR was also honored with a Best Spot Weather award for its coverage of a tornado.
In addition, KFOR won awards for Best Long Form Programming, Best Website, Best Franchise Reporting and OAB’s prestigious Best of Show award.
