Many recognize Boyd Huppert as an award-winning journalist, whose work has earned him 16 national Edward R. Murrow Awards, four Sigma Delta Chi Awards, a National Emmy and the Scripps Howard Award.
Others know him as a broadcast reporter at KARE TV in Minneapolis.
But Huppert thinks of himself as a storyteller.
 At EIJ19 in San Antonio, Huppert shared some of his personal tips to build powerful stories.
 “They hired us as storytellers,” Huppert said. “Turn the assignment into a story.”
 He began by sharing an assignment he’d been given about a 5-year-old boy named Moses who needed eye surgery to overcome his blindness.
