Move over Mike Deeson, there's another reporter garnering acclaim for his investigative reporting at Channel 10 News.
That would be WTSP television reporter Noah Pransky, who on Wednesday learned that he and photographer Paul Thorson were awarded the 2013 Edward R. Murrow Award for Large Market Television/Sports Reporting. They won the award for their story "Soccer Safety Ignored," which investigated how hundreds of soccer goalposts throughout the Tampa Bay area were not properly anchored to the ground. Such sloppy and lazy groundskeeping led to the deaths of 37 kids since 1979, including one in Polk County who was featured in the report.
"The award is a tremendous honor," Pransky said in a press release. "We take a lot of pride in serving as the public's watchdog, and in this case, looking out for children's safety."
