DETROIT (WXYZ) — Special honors were awarded to WXYZ anchor Carolyn Clifford by the Society of Professional Journalists in Detroit.
SPJ honored Carolyn with a Lifetime Achievement award on Wednesday night.
Carolyn grew up on the Detroit's Northwest side watching Channel 7. She always aspired to work at the station she's now been a part of for 26 years.
Her former co-anchor Dave LewAllen was at the award ceremony to share in her Lifetime Achievement honors.
“In my view, there's no one more deserving of it than Carolyn for all that she has accomplished and all that she means to Channel 7 and our viewers, but also to this entire region,” Dave told us. “I mean, she is one committed, special person.”

Congratulations, Carolyn!
