Peabody Awards?
In 1938, the National Association of Broadcasters
formed a committee to establish a Pulitzer Prize for radio. Lambdin
Kay, a long-time manager of WSB Radio in Atlanta, was a member
of the NAB committee. Kay approached Dean
John E. Drewry at the University of Georgia Grady College of
Journalism and Mass Communication about sponsoring the project.
The George Foster Peabody Awards were first presented in 1941 for
programming produced in 1940. The Peabody Awards continue today
to recognize distinguished achievement and meritorious service by
radio and television networks, stations, producing organizations
and individuals. They perpetuate the memory of the banker-philanthropist
whose name they bear. The awards program is administered by the
Grady College of Journalism and
Mass Communication at the University
of Georgia. Selections are made by the Peabody Board following
review by special screening committees of the faculty, staff and
students.
Entries may be submitted by any person or organization wishing to direct the attention of
the Peabody Board to a meritorious program, series, individual or
organization. In its selections, the Board will not necessarily
be restricted to those programs reviewed by the screening committees,
but may consider reports of meritorious service from other sources
and may, on its own initiative, select a program, station or individual
for an award. �
