Awards

NHPR’s reporters, producers and editors continue to be recognized for their outstanding work. In 2022 this included eight first-place awards in national journalism from the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA), honoring public media stations and journalists across the country.

New Hampshire Magazine recognized NHPR on its annual "Best of NH" list in 2022. We received honors for “Best Radio Station” and “Best Radio Talk Show” for The Exchange, a program that wrapped production in 2021 after 25 years of service to Granite Staters. “Best of NH” winners were selected through an online poll by New Hampshire Magazine.

NHPR received three first-place awards and one second-place award in the New Hampshire Press Association’s annual Distinguished Journalism competition. NHPR reporters and producers were also recognized for outstanding work in three categories of the 2022 Edward R. Murrow Regional Awards for small market radio stations in region 10. 

Our Civics 101 podcast received national honors with the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award for outstanding work that increases the American public’s understanding of the law and the legal system. The Silver Gavel Awards for Media and the Arts are the ABA’s highest honor in recognition of this type of work, and Civics 101 was the sole winner in the radio category for 2022.
