St. Louis Public Radio earned nine awards at the Missouri Broadcasters Association (MBA) ceremony this year, earning six first-place and three second-place awards.

Each year, the MBA holds an award ceremony to recognize Missouri journalists, hosting more than 350 radio stations across the state, with over 900 submissions considered this year. STLPR won first place in Best Video Content by a Radio Station, Best Newscast, Best Sports Report, Social Media Star, Best Use of Digital Media-News, and Best News Series in the Large Market Radio category.

Among the awards received were new recognition for the station’s acclaimed investigative series Unsolved, which earned two first–place MBA awards including an award for Best News Series and Best Use of Digital Media-News.

Justice Writer Rachel Lippmann said the "Unsolved” series could not have happened without collaboration and cooperation both within St. Louis Public Radio and with our partners at APM Reports and the Marshall Project.

“It's exciting to see the hard work that everyone put in recognized with this award,” she said.

STLPR journalists were also recognized with second place awards for Best Sports Report, Best Documentary, and Best Feature Reporting.
