Peabody Winners Book 2013 Edition

GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY
AWARD WINNERS


THE PEABODY AWARD

The George Foster Peabody Award recognizes distinguished and meritorious
public service by radio and television stations, networks, producing organizations and
individuals. Reflecting excellence in quality rather than popularity or commercial
success, the Peabody is the industry’s most competitive honor, with an average of
about 25-35 winners chosen annually from more than 1,000 entries.
In 1939, the National Association of Broadcasters formed a committee to
recognize outstanding achievement in radio broadcasting. Committee member
Lambdin Kay, manager of WSB in Atlanta, thought the award would be more
credible if it were academically sanctioned and independently administered. He
approached John E. Drewry of the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism, who enthusiastically endorsed the idea. The Peabody Award was
established in 1940 with the school, now the Grady College of Journalism and Mass
Communication, as its permanent home.
George Foster Peabody, born in 1852 in Columbus, Georgia, moved with his
family to New York after the Civil War. Largely self-educated, Peabody became a
successful banker and supporter of humanitarian causes, especially education. He
helped finance a library, a forestry school, and a classroom building at the University
of Georgia and was the school’s first non-resident trustee. In appreciation, the
University awarded him an honorary degree and named the new broadcasting award
for him.
