WMAL is proud to submit “Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Debate” as Outstanding Use of Sound in the 2016 Chesapeake Bay Associated Press Awards competition.
On April 28, 2015, the front plaza of the U.S. Supreme Court was a sea of protest as the nation’s high court heard arguments in Obergefell v. Hodges – a case that would decide whether same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry.
On that day, advocated both for and against the issue clashed in peaceful conflict, and WMAL News Reporter Nicole Raz was there with her microphone to capture the moments – speaking with demonstrators, and capturing their sounds in a compelling radio piece.
