CONGRATULATIONS! The KSAT Explains team has been honored with a national award by The Alliance of Women in Media for their work on an episode about domestic violence survivors and protective orders.
San Antonio’s first in-depth local streaming program has been honored with a national award recognizing the work of KSAT’s talented team of journalists.” a Gracie Award winner for best Local TV News Magazine.team – Anchor/Producer Myra Arthur and Editor/Visualizer Valerie Gomez, Creator Lexi Salazar, and Executive Producer Brina Monterroza explored the issue of domestic violence in Bexar County.
It happens over and over again in San Antonio: women - and men - are abused or killed at the hands of someone who claimed to love them. Domestic violence is a pattern created to intimidate and control a victim while simultaneously rooting itself in a new generation as children grow up witnessing that abuse or becoming victims themselves. In 2020, 17 people died at the hands of an intimate partner.
