Peabody Awards Ceremony Canceled Amid Writers Strike
The Peabody Awards has cancelled its 83rd annual ceremony due to the ongoing writers strike, disappointing the 39 winners who were set to be celebrated. The winners were chosen by unanimous vote of 32 jurors from over 1,400 entries, including ten entertainment programs, eight documentaries, seven news programs, five from interactive and immersive content, three podcast/radio programs, and one each from arts and public service fare. PBS leads this year’s winners circle with six, followed by Apple TV+ and Disney+ with three each, and HBO Max with two.
