Public Schools
WBFF FOX 45, Sinclair Broadcast Group’s station in Baltimore, is
pleased to announce that both the station and Project Baltimore’s
Investigative Reporter Chris Papst will be honored by the
Randallstown, MD NAACP chapter for their work focused on the
education of children in the Baltimore area. WBFF and Papst will
each be honored with an Excellence in Advocacy Award for their work
covering education and public schools in the region.
“The Randallstown NAACP Excellence in Advocacy Award recognizes
Chris, and Project Baltimore who have contributed significantly to
benefit African Americans and other minority students who often
confront challenges and obstacles to their education. Accordingly,
the award is given in special recognition of his outstanding
service to enhance success for students regardless of their
background,” said Ryan Coleman, President, Randallstown NAACP.
The mission of the Randallstown NAACP chapter is to ensure the
political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of
minority citizens of Baltimore County and throughout the United
States by removing barriers of racial discrimination through
democratic processes and promoting productive and socially
responsible citizens who lead fulfilling lives and make positive
contributions to society.
“WBFF and Sinclair are committed to getting results for people
living in the communities we serve. Project Baltimore’s
ground-breaking reports have prompted numerous investigations and
served to shine a light on neglected issues and communities. WBFF’s
unique reporting in under-served areas has sparked much-needed
public engagement on topics of high importance and concern,” said
Scott Livingston, SVP of News.
Said Papst, “It’s an honor to be recognized by an organization
that has such a long and distinguished history of lifting up people
in the Baltimore area. I’m proud of Project Baltimore’s commitment
to relentless reporting to hold our leaders accountable on behalf
of viewers in the Baltimore metro area.”
