[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 12] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 17405] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]CONGRATULATING WKRG-TV5 REPORTER TIFFANY CRAIGON RECEIVING A 2008 EDWARD R. MURROW AWARD ______ HON. JO BONNER of alabama in the house of representatives Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with both pride and pleasure that I rise today to honor Tiffany Craig, a WKRG-TV5 special assignment reporter, for receiving a 2008 Edward R. Murrow award. A native of Scotland, Tiffany finished high school in Houston, Texas, and went on to study radio, television, and film at Sam Houston State University. Her celebrated career began at KTRK in Houston, Texas. From there, she went to work for KVII in Amarillo, Texas, and then to WBMA in Birmingham, Alabama, before joining Mobile's WKRG-TV5 in 2002. Last year, Alabama landed one of the largest private industrial development projects in the United States, ThyssenKrupp's new $3.7 billion state-of-the-art steel manufacturing and processing facility, and Tiffany traveled to Germany to report from the company's headquarters. She traveled across the Atlantic once again to cover the Air Force tanker competition from the Paris Air Show. Alabama's First Congressional District and indeed the state of Alabama have been blessed with one good news economic announcement after another over the past 18 months. Tiffany and WKRG have provided widespread coverage of each of the recent economic developments for the city of Mobile. This documentary, ``Mobile's Makeover,'' earned reporter Tiffany Craig, editor Ed Smith, photographer Jud Holson, and producer Jennifer Dale a national 2008 Edward R. Murrow Award. Honoring outstanding achievements and excellence in electronic journalism, the Murrow Awards are give by the Radio-Television News Directors each year. This year, the Murrow Award was given to 54 news organizations representing networks, cable channels, and television stations. Madam Speaker, Tiffany Craig's career has already been filled with much achievement, and I rise today to honor yet another of these achievements--a national 2008 Edward R. Murrow Award. May she continue to inform and inspire the people of south Alabama. I know her colleagues, her family, and her many friends join with me in praising her significant accomplishments and a job well done. ____________________
