Jefferson Awards - Featured Reporters
We asked KPIX 5's Jefferson Awards reporters Elizabeth Cook and Sharon Chin to share what it's like to tell the stories of Bay Area heroes.
Elizabeth Cook:
"So often, as journalists, we cover the worst in humanity. The Jefferson Awards is about honoring the very best. These quiet heroes often go unrecognized, but their incredible contributions are making our community a better place. It's an honor to meet these inspiring men and women. I hope their stories inspire others to give back and make a difference through volunteerism and public service. ."

Sharon Chin:
"Having reported countless stories of crime and corruption, covering Jefferson Awards winners is a breath of fresh air. It is an honor to help recognize those in our community who are making a difference. They are role models for us and our children. One by one, they're making this world a better place. And at the end of the day, it feels good not only to hear their stories firsthand, but to share them so they may inspire others."
