		<p>Scripted historical dramas based on real events have existed since at least as far back as Shakespeare. They take history beyond textbooks and documentaries, often taking liberties, but also bringing past events to life while recontextualizing and reinterpreting what they mean to modern audiences. The genre has produced some of the best—and most talked-about—series of the last decade, including <em>The Crown, Dickinson, Say Nothing,</em> <em>Chernobyl, </em>and<em> When They See Us.</em> (See below.) It has also given us lighter and fizzier fare such as the recent sensation <em>Love Story</em>, which dramatizes the ultimately tragic romance of <strong>John F. Kennedy Jr.</strong> and <strong>Carolyn Bessette</strong>. In fact, historical dramas have been so prevalent in the last decade that <a href="https://variety.com/2019/artisans/production/tv-period-dramas-history-consultants-1203173244/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://variety.com/2019/artisans/production/tv-period-dramas-history-consultants-1203173244/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1773490285280000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1kH7ylcbUvvjqEfXziXDei">historical consultants have been in high demand, as has archival research.</a></p>
<p>On the other hand, <em>Love Story</em> has also brought up a hard truth about these &#8220;true stories&#8221;: They aren&#8217;t bound by the principles of journalism and often revise history to make for more interesting scripts. This not only distorts millions of people&#8217;s understanding of past events, but also sometimes victimizes subjects who are still alive. Case in point, the recent <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/opinion/daryl-hannah-love-story-jfk-jr.html?campaign_id=190&amp;emc=edit_ufn_20260309&amp;instance_id=172237&amp;nl=from-the-times&amp;regi_id=71898366&amp;segment_id=216407&amp;user_id=2b425fb29f2c1757525f36a02512a93a" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/opinion/daryl-hannah-love-story-jfk-jr.html?campaign_id%3D190%26emc%3Dedit_ufn_20260309%26instance_id%3D172237%26nl%3Dfrom-the-times%26regi_id%3D71898366%26segment_id%3D216407%26user_id%3D2b425fb29f2c1757525f36a02512a93a&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1773490285280000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2L_I_Gp7ch6O4Wy_xfVCcN"><em>New York Times</em> editorial</a> from actress <strong>Daryl Hannah</strong> taking issue with how she&#8217;s portrayed in Love Story as JFK Jr.&#8217;s ex.</p>
<p>The irony is that the closer a series resembles what we know and remember about the past, the more damaging it can be. There&#8217;s a difference between period dramas—even historically rooted series like <em>Fellow Travelers</em>, which includes real figures such as <strong>Roy Cohn</strong> and <strong>Joseph McCarthy</strong>, but centers completely fictional characters—and these shows, which aim to help viewers truly understand events and people who existed.</p>
<p>Here, some of the best of these recent series, and the ways they dealt with skewed and unconfirmed facts.</p>

		<p><em>Chernobyl</em> chronicles the 1986 Soviet nuclear power plant explosion and its aftermath. Created and written by <strong>Craig Mazin</strong>, the five-part series does invent some characters and contains some slippery science, but each episode was accompanied by a podcast in which Mazin and NPR host <strong>Peter Sagal</strong> discuss the liberties taken. The stories are based in large part on the recollections of locals contained in the book <em>Voices from Chernobyl </em>by Belarusian Nobel laureate <strong>Svetalana Alexeivich</strong>, including the story of first responders who dug a crucial tunnel under one of the reactors—covering the cleanup efforts from the literal subterranean to the highest levels of government.</p>

		<p><strong>Peter Morgan</strong>, who wrote the film <em>The Queen</em>, developed this hit series spanning six decades of British royal history, starting with the 1947 wedding of then-<strong>Princess Elizabeth</strong> to <strong>Philip Mountbatten</strong> and concluding with the 2005 nuptials of <strong>Prince Charles</strong> and <strong>Camilla Parker Bowles</strong>.

		<p>This comedy-drama take on poet <strong>Emily Dickinson&#8217;</strong>s life will not fool you for a second: Its characters talk in modern parlance, party to hip-hop, and take carriage rides with Death, played by <strong>Wiz Khalifa</strong>. But it&#8217;s a fun romp through literary history anchored by <strong>Hailee Stanfield</strong> as the poet and filled with famous current people playing famous 19th-century people, like <strong>Zosia Mamet</strong> as a hyper-ambitious <strong>Louisa May Alcott</strong> and <strong>John Mulaney</strong> as the not-really-that-isolated <strong>Henry David Thoreau</strong>.</p>

		<p>This Peabody-winning, nine-episode series, created by <strong>Joshua Zetumer</strong> and based on the book by <strong>Patrick Radden Keefe</strong>, details the lives of people growing up in Belfast during The Troubles in the 1970s through the 1990s. Historical moments include inquiries into the Disappeared, the murder of <strong>Jean McConville </strong>(<strong>Judith Roddy</strong>), the 1973 Old Bailey bombing, and the Price sisters&#8217; hunger strike. Though Keefe is a respected reporter, the series itself may have taken some liberties, depicting <strong>Gerry Adams</strong> (<strong>Josh Finan</strong>) as a senior IRA commander, though he has denied involvement in the IRA and participation in the abduction of McConville.

		<p>The origin story of the TV “dramedy” begins sometime around 1970 with <em>The Mary Tyler Moore Show</em>, though no one would use that hybrid word for a long time afterwards. The show was among the first to seamlessly include dramatic elements in what was billed as a sitcom. Even its very first episode—one of the best pilots in history—includes a touching scene in which Mary Richards (<strong>Mary Tyler Moore</strong>), who has left her former boyfriend to strike out on her own as a professional woman in Minneapolis, gets one last chance to reunite with him. She’s had a hard time securing an apartment and a job, but she’s managed to do both. She tells him she’s just fine without him. As he leaves, he says, “Take care of yourself, Mary.” Her reply: “I think I just did.”</p>
<p>Gets me every time.</p>
<p>The series would go on to tackle divorce and strained relationships with parents, among other drama-inducing storylines, and delivered one heck of a melancholy finale, too. A few years after <em>The Mary Tyler Moore Show</em>, another drama-comedy hybrid became a sensation: <em>M*A*S*H</em>, which deftly combined laughs with the horrors of war.</p>
<p>The dramedy genre came into its own, complete with its portmanteau label, in the late ‘80s with a spate of shows that contained light drama, serialized storylines, and no laugh track, like <em>The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd,</em> <em>The Wonder Years, </em>and<em> Ally McBeal</em>. Dramedies have since flourished in the streaming era, with streaming services less reliant on strict genre boundaries. Thus we’ve gotten <em>Barry, Atlanta, Better Things, Somebody Somewhere, Dead to Me, </em>and <em>Succession</em>, the funniest dead-serious drama to grace television, and <em>Ted Lasso</em>, one of the most emotional comedies. All of these series demonstrate that crossing genre boundaries leads to more than just toggling between happy and sad—it actually encourages experimentation and leads to innovation no one dreamed could happen in television back in 1970.</p>
<p>Here, a history of the dramedy in seven episodes.</p>

		<p>The first four episodes of this show announce its unique tone and vision: We&#8217;ll be following Kevin (<strong>Fred Savage</strong>), a 12-year-old coming of age in 1968. He&#8217;s narrating as an adult from roughly &#8220;now&#8221;—that is, 1988, when the show premiered—with the wit, humor, and wisdom that age has afforded him. But his childhood falls at a time when things are pretty messy in American life, with the first few episodes focused on the death in Vietnam of the older brother of Kevin&#8217;s crush Winnie (<strong>Danica McKellar</strong>). The few moments of levity amidst the seriousness, like Kevin trying to seem cool while bringing Winnie some food, establish that viewers are in for something special.</p>

		<p>Ugly Betty nailed the complex tonal balance of adapting a telenovela for American audiences, combining high drama, zippy quips, and grounded personal stories, all with fashionable aplomb. This first-season episode shows off the series&#8217; more sensitive side as our heroine Betty Suarez (<strong>America Ferrara</strong>), an unlikely assistant at <em>Mode</em> magazine, helps her co-worker Marc (<strong>Michael Urie</strong>) pretend to be straight when his mother comes to visit. Airing in 2007, this episode was still at the forefront of depicting gay characters&#8217; struggles on television. While there&#8217;s still plenty of humor in their farce relationship as well as the corporate power struggles going on above them—<strong>Judith Light </strong>is always funny as <em>Mode</em> matriarch Claire Meade, and here she&#8217;s handcuffed to a bed—there&#8217;s also a true tearjerker of a bittersweet ending.</p>

		<p>Halfway through <em>Fleabag</em>&#8216;s second and final season, creator-star <strong>Phoebe Waller-Bridge</strong> uses her character&#8217;s habit of breaking the fourth wall to do something totally new: show us that Hot Priest (<strong>Andrew Scott</strong>) has invaded her soul. He calls her on her habit of seeming to drift off when she&#8217;s talking to us, and he even makes eye contact with us, the audience, through the camera. Given that the series follows Fleabag on her journey from self-hatred and guilt to redemption after her best friend&#8217;s death, this is a major moment, played for drama, surprise, and laughs. It was also a completely new way to use an old device that goes back to the earliest of films, through <em>Annie Hall</em>, <em>Ferris Bueller&#8217;s Day Off</em>, and more. This would all lead to one of the best finales in TV history and an arguably flawless run for a series.</p>

		<p>This episode marked <em>Atlanta&#8217;</em>s sharp turn toward the surreal, after mostly following a standard plotline about Earn Marks (creator-star <strong>Donald Glover</strong>) working to make his cousin Paper Boi (<strong>Bryan Tyree Henry</strong>) into a rap star. In &#8220;Teddy Perkins,&#8221; their eccentric friend Darius (<strong>LaKeith Stanfield</strong>)—the Kramer to Earn and Paper Boi&#8217;s Jerry and George—goes to pick up a used piano from a strange man in a desolate mansion. Suddenly, <em>Atlanta</em> has become a deeply unsettling thriller, with Glover (uncredited) playing the creepy piano-seller in whiteface, and we understand that this show has no problem crossing genre boundaries, something it would do even more in its final season.</p>

		<p>&#8220;Dundee&#8221; is not even close to the best episode of <em>Succession</em>. (There&#8217;s no doubt that&#8217;s &#8220;Connor&#8217;s Wedding.&#8221;) But <em>Successio</em>n&#8217;s magic trick is taking <em>Office</em>-style cringe comedy to heights no human should ever have imagined, and Kendall (<strong>Jeremy Strong</strong>) delivering a suck-up rap for his father, Logan (<strong>Brian Cox</strong>), at a major public event will give you cringe PTSD. The original song, &#8220;L to the OG,&#8221; contains such couplets as, “Bro, don’t get it twisted, I’ve been through hell… But since I stan Dad, I’m alive and well.&#8221; While we&#8217;d get plenty more macabre drama from this family fighting over the last vestiges of a media fortune, we couldn&#8217;t have asked for a clearer (or funnier) thesis statement than that.</p>

		<p>Premiering in 2020, <em>Ted Lasso</em> led the way in bringing the dramedy back to its roots: a generally light touch with some moments of feeling. In &#8220;Sunflowers,&#8221; the best episode of its final season (before its return was announced for this year), American coach Ted Lasso (<strong>Jason Sudeikis</strong>) and his British soccer team are in Amsterdam for an exhibition game, after which many of them go their separate ways for the night. Team owner Rebecca (<strong>Hannah Waddingham</strong>) experiences the entire arc of a rom-com when she&#8217;s hit by a cyclist, falls into a canal, and is helped by a handsome onlooker with a nearby houseboat. Former rivals Roy (<strong>Brett Goldstein</strong>) and Jamie (<strong>Phil Dunster</strong>) connect on a sweet bike ride to see windmills. And Ted has two crucial insights after drinking what may or may not have been psychedelic-laced tea and visiting the Van Gogh museum; he has a vision for a new game strategy, and he realizes that there&#8217;s no place like home.</p>

		<p>TV can capture love—and lust—like no other medium, as the recent frenzy over the hockey romance <em>Heated Rivalry </em>has proven. TV allows, famously, for a longer will-they-won’t-they dance that could take weeks, months, or even years; it can also encompass the lasting love of a lifetime. This Valentine’s Day weekend, settle in with some of the best, whether their love is of the forbidden, star-crossed, tragic, opposites-attract, or longtime variety. A few suggestions:</p>

		<p>Sexual chemistry is one thing (and these two certainly have it). But then there&#8217;s the special spark of looking like a couple who has been through it together, who can fight but still support each other with all their soul, and who would be standing together at the end of the world, staying connected even as they fight to help and protect everyone around them. That&#8217;s Coach Taylor (<strong>Kyle Chandler</strong>) and his wife Tami (<strong>Connie Britton</strong>), who will make you understand the astronomical stakes involved in coaching a high school football team, and ushering teens into being good adults.</p>

		<p>Forget Ross and Rachel and their tiresome &#8220;we were on a break&#8221; back-and-forth. The real star couple of <em>Friends</em> was Chandler (<strong>Matthew Perry</strong>) and Monica (<strong>Courteney Cox</strong>), whose surprise hook-up at the end of the fourth season revitalized the series. A season of clandestine romance and slow leakage of the news—&#8221;they don&#8217;t know that we know they know&#8221;—made for some of <em>Friends&#8217;</em>s greatest farce.

		<p>Surely there is little more hopeless than a (very hot) flirtation with a (very hot) Catholic priest, but that is where Fleabag&#8217;s emotional spiral ends in the final season. What&#8217;s startling about this relationship between our unnamed main character/creator (<strong>Phoebe Waller-Bridge</strong>) and the man known only as Hot Priest (<strong>Andrew Scott</strong>) is the vulnerability and depth afforded to these two idiosyncratic souls as they briefly connect. It all makes for one perfect finale.</p>

		<p>An office crush can turn a soulless slog into an everyday rom-com, and no one embodied this better than Jim (<strong>John Krasinski</strong>) and Pam (<strong>Jenna Fischer</strong>). The tension built through the tiniest moments—glances across the office, shared jokes to break up the monotonous day—and, in an unusual move for a sitcom romance, their relationship was allowed to progress before our eyes. After a few false starts, they actually got together, got married, and had kids, keeping viewers rooting for them the whole time.</p>

		<p>We first meet them in their twenties, when Lawrence (<strong>Jay Ellis</strong>) is struggling to find a job and Issa (<strong>Issa Rae</strong>) is scraping by while working for a nonprofit. Anyone who&#8217;s been there can see that they&#8217;re doomed, a sacrifice to coming of age in a 21st century urban setting, but their angst is heartbreakingly relatable, and very watchable.</p>

(Not even the very game Sabrina Carpenter can lure Kermie away.) Perhaps it&#8217;s due to the eternal youth of being a puppet, Miss Piggy&#8217;s insatiable jealousy, the endless renewal of starting from scratch in many iterations of TV shows and movies, or their opposites-attract dynamic, but whatever their secret, they&#8217;re a couple for the ages.</span></p>

		<p>FBI special agents Fox Mulder (<strong>David Duchovny</strong>) and Dana Scully (<strong>Gillian Anderson</strong>) set the template for a new kind of will-they-won&#8217;t-they couple as they clashed over their views of the supernatural forces they were investigating—he&#8217;s a believer, she&#8217;s a skeptic.

		<p>On a show known for insane plot twists, the affair between Washington fixer Olivia Pope (<strong>Kerry Washington</strong>) and President Fitz Grant (<strong>Tony Goldwyn</strong>) took viewers&#8217; breath away more than any stolen election or long-buried secret. Though their relationship was toxic and tumultuous, you can&#8217;t deny the romance of a man willing to routinely risk his position as the leader of the free world for you.</p>

		<p>There&#8217;s something special about a stable sitcom couple, and Uncle Phil (<strong>James Avery</strong>) and Aunt Viv (originally <strong>Janet Hubert</strong>, then <strong>Daphne Maxwell Reid</strong>) were a cut above the others. They not only happily took in their nephew Will (<strong>Will Smith</strong>) and parented him like their own; they also served as role models for him and their own children, eschewing the bickering-couple trope in favor of a partnership of true equals. Their love stayed strong even when Aunt Viv was famously recast in season 4.</p>

		<p>A classic opposites pairing: Eleanor (<strong>Kristen Bell</strong>) is vapid, selfish, and amoral, while Chidi (<strong>William Jackson Harper</strong>) teaches ethics for a living. But here, the stakes are raised when they learn that they&#8217;ve been paired together as &#8220;soulmates&#8221; for their stay in &#8220;the good place,&#8221; where they will literally share a house and an afterlife. The Great Beyond turns out to get a number of things wrong, but suffice it to say that this coupling isn&#8217;t one of them.</p>

		<p><em>Body of Mine</em> allows users, via immersive VR experience, to inhabit the body of a different gender, using interactive storytelling to highlight the experiences of transgender individuals. Originating from personal interviews with transgender people, the project evolved into a powerful tool for fostering empathy, healing, and education, now utilized in LGBTQ+ centers throughout North America. Its aim is to promote understanding and connection in the face of increasing transphobia.</p>

Interviews with residents, officials, and experts, along with analysis of traffic and weather patterns, revealed the systemic failures that exacerbated the death count and the damage. Those failures included weather forecasts that underplayed the risk, firefighters who left an early fire that then flared back up, and escape routes that were blocked—crucial findings to inform officials&#8217; plans in future wildfires.</span></p>

		<p>Al Jazeera Digital presents a look at, as the title says, a single day in Gaza while under siege in 2023, through videos shot by everyday Palestinians with their phone cameras. The images tell the full story of what it&#8217;s like to live through war, showing not only explosions and attacks but also the smaller moments that make up a life, like a child practicing the violin or a group of people smiling and singing together in a moment of hopeful connection. The work is particularly powerful given that it takes place just two months after the October 7 violence that sparked the war, giving the world a portrait of life inside when few journalists could enter without oversight and censorship.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Athens, GA (February 10, 2026) – Industry leaders Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios; Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television; Ravi Nandan, Partner and Global Head of Television, A24; Amy Israel, President of Television, Peter Chernin’s The North Road Company; Amy Entelis, Executive Vice President, CNN Worldwide; and Carolyn Ryan, Managing Editor at The New York Times, have joined the Board of Directors of The Peabody Awards, which honors storytelling that reflects the social issues and emerging voices of our day.</p>
<p>The Peabody Board of Directors brings together prominent executives from organizations across the media landscape. The Board provides expert counsel and stewardship while advancing Peabody’s commitment to outstanding and transformative storytelling, and is comprised of East Coast and West Coast arms, which reflects the diversity of Peabody’s constituencies. Friedlander, Pope, Nandan and Israel will serve on the West Coast Board of Directors, while Entelis and Ryan will serve on the East Coast Board of Directors.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes to maintaining the integrity of an institution like The Peabody Awards, while at the same time evolving with the changing landscape that is television, podcasts, radio and interactive content, it is the strength and commitment of your board of directors that makes those goals possible,” said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of The Peabody Awards. “We are so excited to have Peter, Katherine, Ravi, Carolyn, and both Amy Israel and Amy Entelis, joining our already formidable board, who all share Peabody’s commitment to honoring outstanding and transformative storytelling.” The Peabody program is based at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.</p>

Most recently, Pope received Emmy and Golden Globes nominations for serving as executive producer on the FX limited series “Dying for Sex,” starring Michelle Williams. Earlier in her career, she spent 10 years at NBC/NBC Universal Television Studios where she held several leadership roles, developing hit shows like “Heroes,” “Friday Night Lights,” “30 Rock” and “The Office.” Before NBC, she produced documentaries and specials at CBS and ABC News.</p>

Since joining CNN in 2012, Entelis has launched and built CNN Originals into an internationally recognized portfolio.

		<h3 style="text-align: center;">Episode Description</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This episode, we’re getting to the heart of what drives producer, writer, and showrunner John Wells. Wells is the legend behind such Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series as The West Wing, ER, and now the breakout hit The Pitt. Exploring the challenges facing ER doctors and the American healthcare system, each season of The Pitt takes place over the course of a single 24-hour shift. Wells’ dedication to accuracy and our shared humanity allows viewers to connect to healthcare professionals and patients in a revolutionary, visceral way. After, host Gabe Gonzalez sits down with We Disrupt This Broadcast’s own resident expert, media scholar, professor, and Executive Director of Center for Media &amp; Social Impact Caty Borum, to discuss the real-world, life-changing impact of shows like The Pitt that use entertainment to portray medical challenges and the social determinants of health.</p>

		<h3 style="text-align: center;">Episode Description</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This episode, we’re talking about the Peabody Award-nominated animated children’s series Spirit Rangers, a superhero show about Native siblings who use their powers to protect the national park they call home. Showrunner and creator Karissa Valencia joins us to discuss how the show’s team came together and became the first U.S. preschool show that features an all-Native writers&#8217; room. Through this process, they created an authentically Native series that helps kids of all backgrounds connect to nature. Host Gabe Gonzalez then speaks with comedian and Spirit Rangers writer Joey Clift about the way their writers’ room and crew allowed them to tackle complex subjects that had never before been told in children’s animation.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ATHENS, GA (January 22, 2026) – Award-winning, prolific producer John Wells; musician, filmmaker, and activist Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson; and writers/producers Karissa Valencia and Joey Clift, of the hit Netflix series “Spirit Rangers,” are among the guests on the third season of the award-winning “We Disrupt This Broadcast” podcast co-directed by The Peabody Awards and the Center for Media &amp; Social Impact, distributed by public media organization PRX. The podcast is available free on-demand across all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart, and Overcast.</p>
<p>“We Disrupt This Broadcast” focuses on industry disruption through some of today’s most powerful and compelling television narratives from critically-acclaimed creatives, shows that are re-imagining the world and tackling the big issues that move us forward. The podcast is hosted by Gabe González (comedian, writer, and actor) with contributions from Caty Borum (executive director of the Center for Media &amp; Social Impact), and Jeffrey Jones (executive director of The Peabody Awards).</p>
<p>In the season three premiere of “We Disrupt This Broadcast,” Jones sits down for a conversation with Questlove, the 2025 recipient of the Peabody Trailblazer Award. As the co-founder and drummer of The Roots, he revolutionized hip-hop by introducing live instrumentation and blending genres, helping shape the Neo-Soul movement. He’s also become a cultural curator and historian through his Academy Award- and Peabody-winning documentary “Summer of Soul,” as well as “Sly Lives!,” a documentary on the musician Sly Stone. Questlove also produced a documentary of musical performances on “Saturday Night Live,” titled “Ladies and Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music.”</p>
<p>“In season three, we continue to create space for thoughtful, in-depth conversations with artists and creators whose work is redefining entertainment and reflecting the cultural moments we’re living through,” said Jones, executive director of Peabody and co-EP of the podcast.</p>
<p>“Entertainment culture shapes who we are on a daily basis. We welcome our listeners into intimate conversations with these amazing artists and experts who help us understand why it matters,” said Borum, executive director of the Center for Media &amp; Social Impact and co-EP of the podcast.</p>
<p>González is a Puerto Rican comedian, writer, and actor who can be seen in Season 4 of “The Last OG,” the HBO Latino documentary “Habla y Vota,” and Audible’s “The Comedians.” He was featured in Brooklyn Magazine’s “30 Under 30” in 2017, Time Out New York’s ‘Comedians of Color You Should Know’ in 2018, and his pilot “Los Blancos” was a winner at the Yes, And…Laughter Lab in 2019. His satirical sketch &#8220;Bootlickers&#8221; was an official selection at the LA Comedy Film Festival and Atlanta Comedy Festival in 2022. That same year he penned the Spanish-language short &#8220;Alma&#8221; for Imagine Entertainment.</p>
<p>Borum is an award-winning media producer, book author, professor, and engaged scholar working at the intersection of entertainment storytelling and social good. She serves as Executive Director of the Center for Media &amp; Social Impact (CMSI), a creative innovation lab and research center housed at American University’s School of Communication that produces, showcases, and studies media and social change, including comedy. She is also Professor in the School of Communication.</p>
<p>Jones is the Executive Director of the George Foster Peabody Awards at the University of Georgia, and Lambdin Kay Chair for the Peabodys in the Department of Entertainment &amp; Media Studies.</p>
<p><strong>ABOUT THE PEABODY AWARDS</strong></p>
<p>For more than 85 years, The Peabody Awards has celebrated and honored stories that defend public interest, encourage empathy and expand our understanding of the world. Respected for its integrity and revered for its standards of excellence, the Peabody is an honor like no other for television, podcast/radio, and immersive and interactive media. Chosen each year by a diverse Board of Jurors through unanimous vote, Peabody Awards are given in the categories of entertainment, documentary, news, podcast/radio, arts, children’s and youth, and public service programming. The annual Peabody winners are a collection of stories that powerfully reflect the pressing social issues and the vibrant emerging voices of our day. From major productions to local journalism, the Peabody Awards shine a light on the Stories That Matter and are a testament to the power of art and reportage in the push for truth, social justice, and equity. The Peabody Awards were founded in 1940 at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia and remain there today.
