• The Broadcasters Foundation of America will honor Deborah Norville, Emmy©-winning anchor of Inside Edition and 23-year member of the Broadcasters Foundation Board of Directors with the 2024 Edward F. McLaughlin Lifetime Achievement Award. The Award is presented annually to an individual who has made invaluable contributions to the television and radio industries and Norville will receive this honor during the Golden Mic gala and fundraiser on March 4, 2024, at New York’s Plaza Hotel.
“Deborah is an accomplished broadcaster who has selflessly given a tremendous amount of time and energy to the Broadcasters Foundation,” stated Scott Herman, Chair of the Foundation. “She has led the way on several initiatives, including using her talents on the Foundation’s video and serving as host of the Golden Mic Award gala numerous times. It is our privilege to honor Deborah’s achievements and contributions to broadcasting.”
Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation, commented, “Deborah is passionate about broadcasting and helping those in our business who cannot work due to illness or have been hit by tragedy. I’m delighted that we will honor her many career achievements and dedication to broadcasting with the Lifetime Achievement Award.”
“I am honored to have been chosen for this recognition and the opportunity it gives to highlight our work at the Broadcasters Foundation,” said Norville, a 2016 inductee into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame. “I have been so blessed to have my career as a television journalist and feel supporting this organization all these years is one way of paying my debt of gratitude.”
The Lifetime Achievement Award is named after Edward F. McLaughlin, who served as the Broadcasters Foundation Chair for many years and was Chairperson Emeritus at the time of his passing in 2018.
