GLORIA CAMPOS TO CO-CHAIR 2008 KATIE AWARDS

Network Hall of Fame recipient and WFAA Anchor Gloria Campos will help co-chair the 2008 Katie Awards. Along with Cheryl Hall, business columnist at The Dallas Morning News, they will work to organize and present the 50th Katie Awards competition.

As a board members of the Foundation, she said this endeavor is a "personal crusade," for her. "We staunchly believe in both missions of the Katies: to help college students pay for degrees in media-related fields and to honor the best work by those already in the media," Campos said. "We intend to restore the Katie Awards contest to its past glory. The key to success will be transparency and judges of the highest qualifications."

The annual presentation banquet will be held in conjunction with the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the venue will be the Sixth Floor Museum, in downtown Dallas on Nov. 15.
