Sharon Yoo won a National Edward R. Murrow Award for KING 5 in Seattle. Sharon will travel to New York City next week to accept the award at the 2025 National Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala. The honor is for her 30-minute documentary, “The Buffalo Hunt,” in the category of Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Large Market Television.
In the documentary, Sharon and a photojournalist follow the Kalispel Indian Tribe as members prepare for Indigenous People’s Day through their annual buffalo hunt. The tradition honors their ancestors, culture and is a vehicle to help heal wounds from the past.
