Dan Byron has represented the interests of newspapers and broadcast stations over the last 45 years. It all started because he was the sole litigator at the McHale law firm when WISH-TV in Indianapolis was facing an invasion of privacy case. As the law firm’s only litigator, Byron was handed the case 10 days before its trial, and after presenting a damning associated court case and the jury deliberating for five minutes, his media law career was launched. After his first media case, Byron built a clientele that included additional TV stations and newspapers, and he became the counsel for the Indiana Broadcasters Association in 2002. The IBA in 2008 awarded Byron its highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, as an individual who has made significant contributions to Indiana broadcasting with the highest standards of professional conduct and ethics.
Dan Byron was recognized for his service to Indiana Broadcasting with 2008 Indiana Broadcasters Association Lifetime Achievement Award
