2008 RTNDA REGIONAL MURROW AWARDS
Marcie Sillman's Our Big Backyard explores the creeks in our midst: their aesthetic and psychological value, the impact of urbanization, remediation efforts, and the importance of community involvement in urban creek preservation. Amy Radil's Shady Lenders reports on how some Washington subprime borrowers face an additional hardship: they say their lender Novastar paid their mortgage brokers hidden fees to give them higher–interest loans. Jessica Partnow's Life on the Duwamish explores the history, culture, and neighborhoods around the Duwamish waterway, a historical center of industry in Seattle, Superfund Cleanup site, and a focal point of communities in South Park and Georgetown.
