Awards and categories

There are also technical awards for a handful of disciplines:
* "Videography"

The awards are further subdivided into separate competitions for TV networks, large and small TV markets, radio networks, and large and small radio markets. Thus, there are a total of six "Excellence" awards in a given year, six "Newscast" awards, and so on.
Judging
Submissions are judged by a panel of professional journalists. Entries from individual stations are judged regionally. The finalists from each region are given an ERM Regional Award, and the opportunity to compete in the national awards. It is possible for the judges to decide that none of the entries in a given category merit an award, in which case none will be offered.

Some of the more notable winners of the Edward R. Murrow award include Katie Couric, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Keith Olbermann, and Bryant Gumbel.
