Fox producer receives CMA honor
Thursday, November 10, 2011 – FOX News Channel entertainment producer Ashley Dvorkin received the CMA Media Achievement Award backstage in the media center Wednesday during the CMA Awards.
"It is such an honor to receive this award from the CMA member publicists," said Dvorkin. "Thank you to everyone involved. It's a true pleasure to work with you, and I'm very proud to be part of this country music community."
"Ashley has proven what a valuable asset she is to Country Music and its artists in the past few years," said publicist Jessie Schmidt, who gave Dvorkin the award. "She's always eager to work out great story angles, whether it's with a proven artist or a brand new act. She is certainly a pro and one of the most-well prepared interviewers I've ever encountered."
Dvorkin is the entertainment producer for FOX News Channel and FOX News Edge (the FOX affiliate feed); and both host and producer of FOX 411 Country.
The CMA Media Achievement Award was established to recognize outstanding achievements in the media as they relate to country. Print and Internet journalists, columnists, authors, and editors; television writers, producers and bookers; and syndicated radio reporters are eligible.
CMA member publicists nominate media candidates for consideration. The top five nominees are collected and sent to the publicist panel for a second round of voting. The overall winner is presented to the Awards and Recognition Committee and then approved by the CMA Board of Directors.

Editorial: Walking the talk – When names like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon and the Hag are invoked, you're talking hard core country. These are the touchstones of country , the guys who made country music what it was and still is (or maybe can be). When these folks would sing about being down-and-out and the rough-and-tumble, they knew of what they were singing about. Fast forward a few years to the country singers of today. »»»
Concert Review: We Banjo 3 beaks down the barriers – The joy is palpable when the music is of the Irish variety. And when you combine that with a typically uptempo bluegrass sound - We Banjo 3 labels its style of music Celtgrass - let's say it makes for one fun night. The group, which has been around since 2011, is a quartet from Galway Ireland comprised of two sets of brothers - the cool looking... »»»
Concert Review: Gayle, Orlando provide good old-fashioned entertainment – Although this pairing of country star Crystal Gayle and Tony Orlando may have - on the surface - appeared to be an odd one, tonight's audience demonstratively loved each performer equally.
