TOLEDO, Ohio — WTOL 11 has been honored in the 2023 National Headliner Award contest for the investigative series "The Dark Side of Cedar Point."
Judges awarded 11 Investigates a third-place award for investigative reporting by broadcast or cable television stations.
In a series of stories in 2022, the 11 Investigates team uncovered a disturbing trend at the Cedar Point employee housing. More than two dozen women filed police reports in a five-year period saying they had been victims of sexual assaults. WTOL 11's investigation ultimately lead to the Cedar Point police losing their policing power.
The National Headline Awards are one of the largest and oldest annual contests in the United States. It was founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City.
