Burlington Township High School alumna Shannon Daly has been nominated for the Television Academy Foundation’s 45th College Television Awards. The annual awards show recognizes and rewards excellence in student-produced programs from colleges nationwide. Winners in the competition will be announced by television stars at the red carpet awards ceremony on March 28, 2026, at the Television Academy in North Hollywood, California.
Daly received a nomination in the News category, along with fellow classmates at Montclair State University, for her work as a producer and writer on a project titled San Francisco: On the Edge.
San Francisco: On the Edge is a special edition of Montclair NewsLab. In the spring of 2025 students traveled to San Francisco to report on the urgent issues impacting the city including the Fentanyl crisis, LGBTQ rights, the homelessness epidemic and climate change’s effect on local fishing. They spoke to people living with addiction on the streets of the Tenderloin, a fisherman facing disappearing seasons, and volunteers providing aid to undocumented immigrants.
