“The winners of the 86th annual Peabody Awards reflect Peabody’s mission to honor storytelling that has the potential to change culture, whether it’s examining the destructive tactics of ICE, viewing terminal illness through a deeply personal lens, or resisting attempts to stifle free speech,” said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody, in a statement, via Variety. “We look forward to recognizing and celebrating these winners.”
This year’s Peabody winners were selected by a jury made up of 28 jurors, awarding programs in fields that include entertainment, documentary, news, podcast/radio, arts, children’s and youth, immersive and interactive media, and public service programming.
34 winners were chosen out of nominees, with over 1,000 entries in all categories.
