                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. SAM FARR

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2005

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
achievements of a news channel local to my congressional district. 
KSBW, as part of the Hearst-Argyle Television Inc., received the Walter 
Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism for 
the third consecutive year this past March.
  Frequently we hear that quality, unbiased journalism is a thing of 
the past. However, KSBW and Hearst-Argyle Television Inc. prove the 
critics wrong. The Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television 
Political Journalism is an award that recognizes the importance of 
good, unbiased political journalism. That some of the best minds in 
journalism would agree that KSBW and Hearst-Argyle Television Inc. 
deserve this award 3 years in a row is a testament to this station's 
high quality and merit.
  This continued commitment to excellence in journalism serves as a 
model for all news organizations. I would also like to commend Mr. Joe 
Heston, President and General Manager of KSBW, for his management, 
vision, and interest in the community. Mr. Speaker, I hope that my 
colleagues will join me in honoring KSBW and Hearst Argyle Television 
Inc.'s achievements and wish them continued success.
