Mark Sauer

KPBS News Staff and Mark Sauer, Senior Editor

Sauer directed KPBS’s superior coverage of sexual harassment allegations against former Mayor Bob Filner. His leadership, news judgement, and work with reporters Amita Sharma, Sandhya Dirks and others helped KPBS break the story and stay well ahead of it throughout the summer of 2013. KPBS’s coverage included six women telling their stories of unwanted interactions with Filner exclusively to KPBS.

Sauer will give the keynote speech at the awards banquet. Longtime former newscasters Carol LeBeau and Lauren Reynolds will emcee the program and help us recognize San Diego’s best in journalism.

Hope to see you there!
