One of the nation’s longest-running series on public television, Milwaukee PBS’ own Black Nouveau was just recognized with two honors at the National Association for Black Journalists’ (NABJ) Salute to Excellence Awards. Black Nouveau was honored for two segments that told inspiring stories of grassroots community leaders improving lives and making a difference in Milwaukee.
Black Nouveau received an award in the category of “Public Affairs-Segment” for “We Got This,” a segment about Andre Lee Ellis’ organization that calls on African American men to serve as mentors to African American boys, and its fourth annual Tuxedo Walk. The segment was produced by Everett L. Marshburn and originally aired in January 2018.
Black Nouveau also won an award in the category of “Public Affairs-Specialty” (Markets 16 and Under) for its segment “The Amazing Grace Chorus,” which took a look at how music is being used to treat Alzheimer’s patients. The segment was produced by Liddie Collins and originally aired in January 2018.
“We are honored to be recognized by the NABJ with these two awards,” said Everett L. Marshburn. “But we are most grateful to the people who allowed us to tell their stories. We hope that their commitment and dedication to building a better world will inspire others to do the same. We thank them for their citizenship, leadership, and concern.”
Now in its 27th season, Black Nouveau serves Milwaukee PBS’ commitment to producing and broadcasting quality programming with topics of importance to the diverse viewership it serves. Black Nouveau looks at issues, culture, history and challenges affecting African Americans. Black Nouveau airs the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. on Milwaukee PBS 10.
NABJ is the largest organization for journalists of color in the nation. Its Salute to Excellence Awards honors work from print, radio, online, photojournalism and public relations. Winners were announced during NABJ's Salute to Excellent Gala in Miami on August 10, 2019.
