It is well-known that a Peabody Award represents the highest achievement for excellence in broadcasting. What may be less well-known is how Peabody sees our mission beyond just recognizing artful and impactful storytelling.
At Peabody, we invigorate people through the transformative power of stories. Stories matter because storytelling is precisely the means through which people are inspired to see different vistas, to open and change their hearts, to work for change, and to engage the world in transformative ways. And Peabody recognizes stories that do just that—in news, in documentary, and in entertainment.
Peabody’s pillars of performance—what we stand upon and strive to achieve in all we do throughout the year—are to:
- Recognize Excellence
- Elevate Awareness
- Inspire Citizenship
- Embrace Innovation
- Uphold Integrity
In an era of intentional disinformation, warped conceptions of citizenship, and public actors for whom integrity is a bygone conceit, we are happy to note that, year-after-year, Peabody works to uphold these foundational standards in the stories that shape American democracy. Based at the oldest public institution of higher learning, The University of Georgia, we embrace the mandate at the heart of public learning by fostering and supporting the positive role that storytelling has in transforming society.
Our public programming, which strives to further the work of the awards program by promoting and enhancing these socially-conscious narratives through year-round programming and content, has expanded to include a weekly viewing guide newsletter and a forthcoming podcast. We’ve also expanded our award categories into interactive and immersive media (VR, video games, interactive journalism, et al.). We’ve cast a wider net for recognizing powerful storytelling in the digital era, while doubling our efforts to increase the awareness of and impact of powerful and compelling stories.
This year’s goal is to secure $25,000. Please consider supporting Peabody with a generous gift today. Your contributions go a long way towards supporting an institution and award that is truly unlike any other. Gifts of $100 or more qualify donors for membership in the Friends of Peabody. The full a mount of your gift is tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
