There was some really great journalism last year: Reporters dug deep to inform the public, and the Scripps Howard Foundation is rewarding them today.

Awards are being handed out to reporters and media entities who uncovered big stories: One revealed a national problem of sexual abuse involving doctors. Another did some really thorough reporting on last year's presidential election.

Watch replay: #SHFoundation awards show

The awards show was Wednesday evening at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio, where The E.W. Scripps Company is headquartered.
