CAI newsroom wins 7 national awards

We’re proud to share that CAI has won seven awards from the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA) for work done in 2023.

These awards, announced in Washington, D.C., recognize the excellence of CAI’s work in competition with similar-size public media stations across the country.

"It’s a tremendous achievement for such a small radio station, and a testament to the hard work and deep commitment CAI staff bring to the mission of creating meaningful public radio for listeners across the Cape, Coast, and Islands," said Steve Junker, CAI's Managing Editor for News. "Public media benefits everyone, with no subscription needed. CAI is grateful for the community support from listeners and local businesses that makes this work possible."
