TAB offers the Steve Pieringer Award to honor outstanding valor in the coverage of news. Pieringer, a KRLD radio and television reporter, died from wounds he received covering a gasoline storage tank explosion in 1968. The award is given for an exemplary display of news reporting above and beyond the normal call of duty. It is only awarded if the review committee feels the nomination has merit.
