Carriage TradePR — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 23:30:12 +0000

Private School in Savannah Recognized
As One Of Nation’s Most Challenging High Schools

Savannah, GA--St. Andrew’s School recently received recognition as one of the most

challenging high schools in the nation. This marks the second year in a row for the Savannah

private school to receive the honor. The Washington Post’s Jay Mathews has been ranking

the most challenging schools in the country for 15 years.

“I'm thrilled that St. Andrew's is again being recognized for one of our distinguishing

characteristics--that we provide a challenging curriculum to all of our students while giving

them the individual attention and supportive environment they need to help them meet that

challenge,” said Sara Rubinstein, Upper School Head. “Through making our International

Baccalaureate program accessible to all students, not just the top 2% of any class, we fulfill our

promise to give each St. Andrew's student the high quality learning environment our families

expect and deserve.”

St. Andrew’s is the only private school in Georgia to be recognized on the most challenging

list. View the Post’s challenging list at

http://apps.washingtonpost.com/local/highschoolchallenge/schools/2013/list/private/

St. Andrew’s is an independent International Baccalaureate World School committed to being

a leader in 21st Century teaching and learning, which includes a curricular focus on creativity,

communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and character. For more information on the

WSAV Earns Five 2013 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards:

Carriage TradePR — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:20:16 +0000

WSAV Earns Five 2013 Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards:

WSAV-TV, the NBC affiliate serving Savannah GA / Hilton Head SC has won five Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards for excellence in television journalism including the organization’s top three categories. The announcement was made Thursday by the Radio Television Digital News Association which has been honoring outstanding achievement in electronic journalism with the Murrow Awards since 1971.

This continued an impressive trend as WSAV has been recognized with 26 Regional Murrow awards for excellence in journalism over the past six years -- as compared to two awards for all other Savannah area Television stations.

Among the honors, the coveted Murrow Award for Overall Excellence. It’s the fifth time in the last six years the WSAV’s entire staff has been so honored. In addition, the WSAV staff also won the Murrow Award for Newscast with its coverage of a visit by President and Michelle Obama to Ft. Stewart in 2012. It’s the fourth time in the last six years WSAV has won for Newscast.

WSAV Chief Investigator JoAnn Merrigan takes her third Murrow in three years, this time receiving the award for Investigative Reporting. Her reports unearthed unethical insurance company practices trying to force bundling with threats of dropping all coverage.

WSAV anchor/reporter Kim Gusby, Photojournalist Chris Murray and Production Manager Jerry Perlman share the Murrow Award for outstanding Documentary/Special Program for WSAV’s Celebrating Black History program. This marks the third year in a row the program has achieved this distinction.

Finally, WSAV Chief Photographer Jim Jensen wins the Murrow Award for Use of Video (Photojournalism) for his photo essay on the Savannah Police Memorial for officers killed in action. It’s Jensen’s fourth win in this category in the past seven years.

WSAV General Manager Deb Thompson said “It is gratifying to see our news team receive such well deserved recognition from the RTDNA for the outstanding work they do every day in delivering news to our viewers.” WSAV took five of the thirteen awards presented in its region -- a region that includes more than 30 television news organizations in cities throughout Georgia, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Regional Edward R. Murrow Award winners automatically move to the RTDNA’s national competition.
