We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Another Award for KCMO Radio NEWS Medill School of Journalism (Northwestern University) and the Radio-Television News Directors Association have awarded KCMORadio their annual Distinguished Achievement Award for the "outstanding radio news story broadcast" of 1957. The story was one of the most important in Kansas City history: the May 20 tornado which struck the Ruskin Heights-Hickman Mills area. This is the third major award for KCMO-Radio news in six years. In 1951 both the Distinguished Achievement Award for "overall radio news operation" and the Sigma Delta Chi Award for radio reporting went to KCMO-Radio. So it's no lack of modesty that leads us to tell our listeners: "You're in the know on KCMO." KCMO-Radio's full-time news department is staffed by professional radio-journalists, every one of them journalism-school trained: (L to R) Don Brewer, Howard Neighbor, Bill AAcReynolds, Allen Smith, Jim Walsh, Harold Mack, Joe Kramer, and news director Jim Monroe.
