**Kristen Welker, moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press,** received the Television Broadcast Award from the[ Multicultural Media Correspondents Association](https://www.mmcadc.org/about?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) during its annual dinner at the National Press Club.

In her acceptance remarks, Welker underscored the importance of diverse perspectives in the news media and reflected on her journey as a journalist of color and her efforts to set an example for future generations of reporters from different backgrounds.

“Growing up in Philadelphia – and reporting and serving as an anchor there before joining NBC News – I learned a lot about the importance of seeing people on TV that looked like me – people that had undergone experiences like the ones I had,” said Welker. “I think that growing up having women and women of color to look up to made me who I am today – Andrea Mitchell, Gwen Ifill, Carol **Simpson**, and others who helped pave the way with their work.

“We underestimate the power of example – of showing new generations what’s possible and striving to create a legacy that they are proud to continue building on.”
