“Noticias 14 Univision” Receives RTNDA Award for Best Multi-Part Series for “Jóvenes a Salvo”
San Francisco, CA -- “Noticias 14 Univisión,” the number one Spanish-language newscast in the Bay Area, received the Radio and Television News Directors Association of Northern California Award for Best Multi-Part Series for its series titled, “Jóvenes a Salvo” (Safe Youth). The award was presented Saturday, October 18, at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco.
KDTV Univision 14 Reporter Juan Barragán and Photographer Rito Vargas were honored for their work on the two-part series, which examined the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for teenagers who have been involved in drug-related crimes. Many in these programs are of Latino or African-American descent and are trying to overcome drug addiction or gang activity. Programs like “Horizontes sin Límites,” (Limitless Horizons), encourage youth to participate in activities such as the ‘DJ’ musical program, which teaches them how to create music, produce their own album and prepare them for sale at local community stores.
“Our goal is to always focus on topics that directly affect our community and we’re delighted when we have the opportunity to bring stories like this one to our viewers. It is also an honor to receive such recognition from our peers,” said Sandra Thomas, Noticias 14 Univisión news director.
Earlier this year, “Noticias 14 Univisión” was also nominated for a “Best Newscast” EMMY Award by the Northern California chapter of the National Television Academy.
