KCCI’s morning news anchor Eric Hanson earned a national Edward R. Murrow award from the RTDNA in the Excellence in Writing category for the series, This Is Iowa.
This is Hanson’s fifth national Murrow. KCCI is Hearst’s CBS affiliate in Des Moines, Iowa.
The series is beloved for sharing the stories of Iowan’s who have an extraordinary impact on their community.
“I’m so honored that my neighbors across Iowa trust me to share their personal stories that make our state so special” said Hanson.
“I’m blessed to be invited to witness the surprises, the celebrations and the backstage settings that I share in my stories and I’m so grateful for the great work of our talented team of photojournalists who capture such great moments and allow our This is Iowa stories to shine.”
“Eric comes to work every day with the desire to make a difference with the stories he tells and the newscasts he anchors,” said Dave Busiek, KCCI’s news director.
“He understands the people who call Iowa home and the community spirit that connects us all.”
Hanson has done more than 3,200 stories for This Is Iowa, and here are some of his favorites:

NOTE: I really like this type of reporting — positive, uplifting and material everywhere you look. I wish more stations did stories like these on a regular basis.
If your station is doing these kinds of feature stories, let me know and I’ll share the news.
