鈥淚 can鈥檛 begin to tell you how lucky I am to work with Julia, aka Julie, aka JZ! From intern, to being on the desk at 鈥楾OP, to working with Washington Post Radio, to being the digital lead at Federal 海角社区app Network, to running 海角社区app.com, to now overseeing the entire 海角社区app news operation, Julie has brought an energy and dedication that is unparalleled,鈥� said 海角社区app Vice President and General Manager, Joel Oxley.
鈥淩ight as she took over the newsroom, Covid hit and at the same time, Trump news reached its peak. She has deftly guided us through these incredibly challenging times and now is leading the charge to take our programming to where it needs to be in this ever-evolving landscape. Bottom line is that Julie is a winner and 海角社区app is beyond fortunate to have her leading our news team!鈥�

鈥淚 am so incredibly honored and touched to accept this award. I feel fortunate to work for a company like Hubbard Broadcasting that puts people first and gives them the support to reach their full potential and goals,鈥� said Julia Ziegler, Director of 海角社区app and Programming for 海角社区app. 鈥淎rt Laboe was a legend in this industry because of his commitment to broadcasting excellence and connecting with so many people. That is something I try to emulate every day.鈥�
