Kelly Golden, a College of Charleston alumna and news anchor-reporter at Charleston’s WTMA Radio, is the recipient of a 2002 Edward R. Murrow Award presented by the Radio-Television News Directors Association.

Golden earned the prestigious journalism award for a three-part series she produced on identity theft. The reports aired in December 2001. Golden says the idea for the series came from meeting a local man who lost thousands of dollars when his credit card numbers were stolen.
