Good Year For Local News Peabodys
The Peabody Awards are being handed out next week in New York. (ABC will receive two and NBC and CBS will receive one each.) Broadcasting & Cable talked to program director Horace Newcomb about this year's submissions:
 We're in the midst of an overwhelming "celebrification" of news. Has the news' submission been as strong as in years past?I was really heartened this year by the local stuff that we saw. Some years it seems pretty thin. This year, we saw a number of really hard-hitting stories that people had followed for months. I think there are some local stations out there that are encouraging people to respond in their own way, perhaps, to the celebrity aspects. Not to say they don't do it as well, but I think there's some important stuff getting done. |
