WGLS-FM earned finalist recognition in the College Broadcasters Incorporated National Student Production Awards on Wednesday.
Smoking: Unfiltered, a 30-minute documentary about nicotine addiction’s impact on college students, was named one of four finalists in the Best Documentary/Public Affairs radio category.
The documentary, produced by Christina Maxwell and Philip Blandino, previously received a second place nod in the Philadelphia Press Association’s Enterprise Reporting radio category last June.
Made in conjunction with WGLS-FM Assistant Station Manager Derek Jones’s Radio Production class, the documentary also placed in competitions by the Garden State Journalists Association and New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists.
