The Peabody Awards have taken place in New York every year except its 50th anniversary, when the ceremony was held in Atlanta.
“It is a special honor to be part of this diverse and talented team of judges,” Seigenthaler said. “The Peabodys are unique because we celebrate ‘stories that matter,’ in a complicated and ever-changing world. Once again, we look forward to the challenging task of choosing the best of the best.” And Peabody has added documentary filmmaker, journalist and Sundance Institute’s documentary and artist program director Carrie Lozano to its board of directors. Lozano, who previously directed the International Documentary Association’s enterprise documentary and Pare Lorentz funds, is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and serves on the board of ProPublica and advisory boards of PBS Frontline and University of California Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism.
