StateImpact Oklahoma Honored

KGOU
StateImpact Oklahoma Reporters Joe Wertz and Logan Layden (l-r)

This is the Manager’s Minute.

I have a couple of notes to share as we head into July.

Left, Right and Center is expanding from 30 minutes to an hour beginning on Saturday, July 15.

You’ll have to get up a little earlier to catch the whole program – it will start at 6:00 a.m.

StateImpact Oklahoma is going through a transition, too.

Logan Layden has left for another job after several years of solid reporting and hosting for KGOU and StateImpact.

Logan was with StateImpact from the beginning and helped set a high bar for reporting excellence.

StateImpact Oklahoma has just received national awards from the Public Radio News Directors, Incorporated (PRNDI): First place for multi-media presentation for the Oklahoma Engaged election project and second place in the long documentary category for “A Field Guide to State Question 777.”

These awards are further recognition of the valuable reporting StateImpact Oklahoma provides.

Until next time, with the Manager’s Minute, I’m Dick Pryor.

Dick Pryor has more than 30 years of experience in public service media, having previously served as deputy director, managing editor, news manager, news anchor and host for OETA, Oklahoma’s statewide public TV network. He was named general manager of KGOU Radio in November 2016.
