University of Richmond journalism professor Andrew Grace has won an Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Podcast for his work on the second season of the NPR podcast White Lies. The awards are presented annually by the Radio Television Digital News Association.
Grace is a co-host and producer of the podcast. The first season of the podcast investigated a Civil Rights-era murder and was a 2020 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Audio Reporting.
The second season, titled White Lies: The Men on the Roof, documents the history of a prison takeover in rural Alabama in 1991.
“It doesn’t get much bigger than the Murrow award in broadcast journalism and we’re thrilled that Andrew’s work has been honored in this way,” said Shahan Mufti, chair of the journalism department at the University of Richmond. “We are proud that our students are taught by faculty like Andrew who continue to practice the craft at the elite levels of the journalism profession.”
Grace has taught at UR since 2023.
