We are ecstatic to announce that 11Alive Assistant News Director Kristie Anderson has been awarded the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) 2024 Loren Tobia Leadership Award. 👏 🏆 The Loren Tobia Leadership Award is given annually to a journalist who exemplifies true leadership within their company or organization during a given year.   In 2023, Anderson stepped up as interim news director at WXIA after the newsroom went nearly six months without a news director. During that time, the station’s general manager also departed. Despite the uncertainty, Anderson led the newsroom through some challenging stories — the indictment of a former president in Atlanta, the death of a former first lady, severe weather coverage — with empathy and integrity.   “I had the privilege to work alongside Loren Tobia for many years, and I cannot overstate how special it is to receive a leadership award bearing his name,” said RTDNA President and CEO Dan Shelley. “Kristie’s work at WXIA is well-deserving of this tremendous honor."   Kristie, the 11Alive team is so grateful for your outstanding leadership. Your dedication and hard work make you truly deserving of this award. Thank you for all that you do! 💛
