The George Foster Peabody Award recognizes distinguished and 

meritorious public service by radio and television stations, networks, producing 
organizations and individuals.  Reflecting excellence in quality rather than 
popularity or commercial success, the Peabody is the industry’s most competitive 

honor, with an average of about 25-35 winners chosen annually from more than 
1,000 entries. 
 

In 1939, the National Association of Broadcasters formed a committee to 

recognize outstanding achievement in radio broadcasting.  Committee member 

Lambdin Kay, manager of WSB in Atlanta, thought the award would be more 
credible if it were academically sanctioned and independently administered.  He 
approached John E. Drewry of the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady School 
of Journalism, who enthusiastically endorsed the idea.  The Peabody Award was 

established in 1940 with the school, now the Grady College of Journalism and 
Mass Communication, as its permanent home. 
 

George Foster Peabody, born in 1852 in Columbus, Georgia, moved with 

his family to New York after the Civil War.  Largely self-educated, Peabody 

became a successful banker and supporter of humanitarian causes, especially 
education.  He helped finance a library, a forestry school, and a classroom 
building at the University of Georgia and was the school’s first non-resident 
trustee.  In appreciation, the University awarded him an honorary degree and 

named the new broadcasting award for him.
