Sinclair is pleased to announce Project Baltimore, the special
investigative reporting unit of WBFF, Sinclair’s Baltimore MD FOX
affiliate, has been awarded a News Emmy® Award from The National
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). This national
Emmy Award honors the best in news coverage across the country.
Outstanding Regional News Story: Investigative –
Disabled & Denied Carolyn Peirce, Executive Producer;
Chris Papst, Investigative Reporter; Ray Rogowski, Investigative
Producer; Jed Gamber, Photographer; Anthony Durso, Photographer
Project Baltimore’s winning series of reports exposed how
Baltimore City Schools denied students with disabilities a proper
education, and in doing so, violated their federal education
rights. “Disabled & Denied” resulted in multiple state-level
investigations, which found City Schools violated the education
rights of four students. The state also mandated the district
develop plans to better educate all students with disabilities or
risk losing funding.
Since its inception in 2017, Project Baltimore’s reporting has
been honored with dozens of national and regional awards including
4 National Investigative Reporters and Editors awards, a National
Press Photographers Association award, 5 National Headliner awards,
2 Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi awards, 1
National Emmy award, 41 regional Emmy Awards, 9 Edward R. Murrow
Awards, and 11 AP awards. Project Baltimore’s work has also been a
finalist for the Alfred I. duPont and the Education Writers
Association awards.
“This Emmy Award is a testament to the hard work, dedication,
and passion of WBFF’s Project Baltimore team and we are incredibly
honored to receive this prestigious recognition from the Academy.
I'm proud of the entire team for their tireless efforts, and we're
grateful to our audience for trusting us to bring them the news
that matters,” said Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of
News.
“This series of reports highlights the injustice of students
with disabilities not receiving the education they need and
deserve,” stated Project Baltimore’s lead investigative reporter
Chris Papst. “Public schools receive extra tax dollars to educate
students with disabilities. Oftentimes the services are not
rendered, but the schools keep the money. I want to thank the
Baltimore City families and students who came forward to expose
this serious issue. And thank you to the Academy for recognizing
the significance of their stories.”
