The NAB will present the Spirit of Broadcasting Award to veteran radio industry reporter Tom Taylor during the 2019 NAB Show in Las Vegas. Taylor will accept the award on Monday, April 8, at the NAB Show Opening.

Taylor recently retired after a three-decade career covering radio. His journalism career included stints as editor of the daily Tom Taylor NOW e-newsletter, launched in November 2012. Previously, Taylor served as editor of Inside Radio, M Street Journal/M Street Daily, and the TRI newsletter from Chicago-based Radio-Info.com.

Before turning to journalism, Taylor served as VP of Programming and Operations for Nassau Broadcasting’s WPST/WHWH in Princeton, NJ. He also programmed WKQQ Lexington, KY and WCHL Chapel Hill, NC. 

“Tom Taylor is a beloved friend of radio broadcasters and was daily chronicler of the industry for decades,” said NAB Executive VP of Communications Dennis Wharton. “Tom’s love for the business of broadcasting is matched only by his journalistic integrity, and NAB is delighted to honor him for his lifetime of service to quality radio reporting.”

The Spirit of Broadcasting Award recognizes general excellence and leadership and is given to individuals or organizations who have made lasting contributions to over-the-air broadcasting.
