At the 2025 Dante & DiFrisco Awards luncheon Thursday at Galleria Marchetti, 825 W. Erie St., Jacobson won the Dominic DiFirsco Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was established in 2020 to honor the life and legacy of the public relations executive who founded the Dante Awards.
Meteorologists Kylee Miller and David Yeomans, reporter Sabrina Franza, digital producer Elyssa Kaufman, vice president of broadcast operations and engineering Tom Schnecke, and executive assistant to the general manager Raleshia Brumfield were all in attendance on behalf of CBS Chicago — and posed for a photo with Jacobson.
