The Edward R. Murrow Awards, presented by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), are among the most prestigious honors in journalism.

This award is a testament to the hard work of our teams and the importance of public media in fostering an informed and engaged public.

This sweet potato casserole is classic comfort made wonderfully simple. With pantry staples and just a few minutes of prep, you’ll have a creamy, cinnamon-spiced dish that bakes up beautifully and fills the kitchen with the smell of maple and vanilla. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
