PBS, ‘Frontline’ Lead as Peabody Awards Announces 2024 Nominations for Documentary, News, Public Service and Radio/Podcast
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large PBS landed 11 nominations, by far the most of any outlet, as Peabody Awards Board of Jurors announced this year’s 41 nominees across its documentary, news, public service and radio/podcast categories.
The pubcaster’s Peabody noms include “20 Days in Mariupol,” which recently won the Oscar for best documentary feature film. “20 Days in Mariupol” is a production of “Frontline” and the Associated Press.
Among PBS series, “Frontline” landed five noms, the most of any program, while “Independent Lens” received three. Also scoring multiple nominations was the combination of HBO and Max, which received four — including one for the doc “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” which HBO Documentary Films produced with Neon and Participant.
That’s notable in light of last week’s news that Participant Media is shutting its operations. This year’s Peabody Award nominees are selected from stories and projects that were released in broadcast or steaming media in 2023 and chosen via unanimous vote by 32 jurors (made up of media industry professionals, media scholars, critics and journalists).
