Spectrum of Democracy Awards

At the 2011 Spectrum of Democracy Awards the N.C. Center for Voter Education honored 3 citizens and NBC-17 for their contributions to democracy in NC. NBC-17 was honored as the Outstanding Media Organization.

NCCVE Executive Director Damon Circosta stated: In 2010, Raleigh-based NBC-17 excelled in providing citizens with comprehensive coverage of the candidates courting their vote. Partnering with the League of Women Voters of North Carolina, NBC-17 presented a series of in-depth televised congressional and senatorial debates moderated by anchor and political reporter Kim Genardo. These debates spanned last year's primary, runoff and general elections. Watch the video prepared for the award.

March 8th is International Women's Day; March is National Women's History Month.
