SAINT LOUIS, MO (KMOX) - The St. Louis Media History Foundation will honor the excellence of seventeen media professionals in the fields of television, print, radio, and advertising/public relations at its annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Dinner this Saturday evening. Among those inductees, KMOX'S Carol Daniel.
Carol is currently co-host of Total Information AM on KMOX.
Carol began her career at the “Voice of St. Louis” in 1995 as an anchor, reporter and talk show host. She was hired when the program director at the time was driving to Memphis, and heard Carol on the air at a radio station in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Two weeks later, she moved to St. Louis and was working at KMOX.
Carol helped launch the Emmy-winning television talk show, “Great Day St. Louis,” where she was a cohost for four years. She is also an award-winning columnist -- she was honored twice with a National Newspaper Association award for her column, “Carol’s Journal,” which ran for nearly 10 years in the St. Louis American Newspaper. In 2014, Carol published her first book, “All I Ever Wanted: Relationships, Marriage, Family.”
The foundation says this year’s roster of inductees ranges from contemporary professionals to several professionals who will be honored posthumously. “It’s impressive how rich St. Louis is with so many talented people who currently work or did work in this industry,” said Executive Director Frank Absher. “When identifying those who would be eligible for this honor, we reviewed the body of work regardless of when it took place. The
final selections represent quality and excellence across a broad range of media careers and timelines.”

Television: Dennis Riggs, Cleophus Robinson, Jim Rothschild and Amy Shaw
Print: William Freivogel, Harry Levins, Elmer Simms Campbell, Harry Martin, Jack Rice, Charlie Ross,
