KING TV

TEGNA announced that KING, its NBC affiliate in Seattle, and journalist Chris Ingalls received The Brooks Jackson Prize for Fact-Checking, awarded by the Annenberg Public Policy Center in partnership with USC Annenberg's Cronkite Awards, for The Fraud Crusade, an investigative series on a misinformation campaign that sought to undermine public trust in Washington state's elections. In the series, Ingalls vetted claims of voter registration anomalies in three Washington counties made by the Voter Integrity Project. His reports used public records requests, reporting and interviews to expose false and misleading claims about voter fraud. The award's judges called his pieces “important, thoroughly researched, well produced, very informative.” The Brooks Jackson Prize is named for the veteran journalist who covered Washington and national politics for the Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, and CNN. TEGNA operates 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets.
