WNIN reporterCassHerrington exemplifies the finest qualities of the next generation of journalists. This bilingual journalist is tech-savvy and contemporary, but firmly grounded in the best principles of her profession.
The examples accompanying this entry show not just craftsmanship, but leadership in her profession. Time and time again, Cass shows the rest of us what journalism will look like as her generation assumes greater responsibility in newsrooms across the country.
For Cass, no hard news story is complete without context and thoughtful discussion, no feature is complete without a twist. As you will hear in the entry audio and the accompanying links, Cass sees every assignment through a storyteller's eyes. From the journeys of Latina women, to the wisdom of pool-playing seniors talking about economic development, to a live on-stage interview with a performing band, Cass shows why this proud daughter of the Commonwealth is a favorite with WNIN listeners.
