PRESIDENT’S AWARD OF HONOR PRESENTED TO PAUL HARVEY

He was heard and seen everywhere for almost 60 years. His 24+ million admirers tuned-in every day just for that magnificent voice: “Hello, Americans!! This is Paul Harvey! Stand by for newwwsss!” His was ‘the voice of Middle America’ and ‘Silent Majority’ on more than 1,300 radio stations six days a week, and 120-something TV stations in syndication on local newscasts. Trademark telegraphic delivery, punctuated by patented pauses. A mix of news briefs, human- interest, celebrity updates, commentaries on national policy, and of course those “the Rest of The Story” stories. Written with warmth, respect, and relevance. All spoken from the heart from the Heartland. On every broadcast, his down-home storytelling was irresistible from “Page One” through “Page Two” to “Good Day!”. While working at St. Louis radio station KXOK he met and married “Angel”, a Phi Beta Kappa from Washington University. Then, they drove off to the bigtime in Chicago in her Nash in 1948. Their son, Paul Harvey Jr. has rightly said his parents collaborated and “created from thin air what one day became radio and television news.” Whether we realize it or not, every day, so many of us in this business, employ much of what ‘Paul Harvey News’ originated to communicate with our audiences. It is fitting NATAS Mid- America pays homage to an iconic national treasure.

In recent years we have also reached out to other cities in our chapter to honor professionals in those markets with induction into the same Gold and Silver Circles – just as we’re doing tonight. After celebrating the careers of legendary broadcast professionals in stand-alone events in Little Rock (2017) and Shreveport (2018) we’re excited to announce a similar evening is in the works for 2019 in the Quad Cities. Stay tuned for details in the months to come on our NATAS Mid-America Facebook and Twitter pages. Once again - thank you all for being here and see you next year in Branson at the 2019 Gala, and in the Quad Cities for another stand-alone Gold and Silver Circle evening.

24 2018 MID-AMERICA EMMY® AWARDS #EMMYMIDAM Peggy Breit KBMC, Kansas City, MO Silver Circle Inductee

Peggy Breit was a KMBC 9 News Reporter since 1982. She graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in journalism and mass communications. She has amassed several awards for excellence in broadcast journalism, including two regional Emmy’s. KMBC most recently won a Regional Murrow Award for Peggy’s passion and relentless pursuit in the LaMonte McIntyre story. LaMonte was arrested at age 17 and spent the past 23 years behind bars as part of a double homicide he did not commit. Peggy was there every step of the way as she developed relationships with LaMonte’s family and the Midwest Innocence Project. LaMonte was finally exonerated and set free. This is just one of the countless stories Peggy has devoted her unyielding energy and passion in and illustrates her commitment to our community and excellence in journalism. Two of Peggy's most memorable assignments were trips to El Salvador and Croatia, but she says the chance to meet new people every day and experience life all around the area from the perspective of its residents is the highlight of her job. Peggy says there couldn't be a job with more variety - fires, murders, gardening (one of her passions), a child prodigy... anything could be on tap for the day. And then it can all change on a dime when there's breaking news. "It's what keeps me on my toes, aware of the world and in touch with our community." According to Peggy, "It's been a wonderful choice of careers."

Prior to joining FOX 2 News, Elliott worked in advertising for the Suburban Journal newspapers. The You Paid For It Series has made him a champion of the underdog in our area, and his hard-hitting investigations have made him a lightning rod of controversy in the St. Louis area’s political and bureaucratic arena. While many of these reports are some major success stories, there are many small injustices that have been righted as a result of You Paid For It probes. Elliott’s hard work and commitment to excellence in broadcasting were recognized in 2002 with an EMMY® Award for the best investigative report. Elliott has received numerous EMMY® Award nominations, receiving one for Best Investigative Report.

He graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1981 and in 1984, received his law degree from the University of Kansas School of Law. His legal expertise is frequently invaluable in our coverage of court cases. John has won numerous awards including Regional Emmys for anchoring, news writing, investigative reporting, general assignment reporting, and feature reporting. Media Mix, a media professionals group in Kansas City, named John its TV Personality of the Year in 2000, 2006, and 2008. In 2015, The Heart of America Boy Scout Council named John a “Ewing M.

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, John became an outspoken advocate for men to have screenings for the disease. “I became interested in broadcasting in high school. Long hours driving a hay swather during a couple of summers working on a farm had me making up play-by-play games in my head. I wanted to do sports. But I had the opportunity to work at my hometown radio station (KVGB) and do everything, from news to farm reports to being a disc jockey. I fell in love with broadcasting in general. Law school by day, news at night, and I was set to remain in journalism post-law school. I’ve ever looked back!”
