In 1999, C-SPAN spent the year exploring the life stories of every American president—one president per week from March to December—in American Presidents: Life Portraits. The effort, and its accompanying instructional materials for teachers, "exemplified the very best elements of our democratic system and free media," according to Peabody jurors.

#TBT: Tomorrow marks the original air date of A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965. "It was a little gem of a show that faithfully and sensitively introduced to television the Peanuts collection of newspaper characters created by Charles Schultz," notes the original citation: http://bit.ly/charliebrownchristmas #charliebrown #christmas #charlesschultz #cbs #peabodywinner #tv #classic tv #peanutsgang (at Peabody Awards)

Peabody Conversations: Night Will Fall

Night Will Fall deftly weaves two stories into one documentary tale - one about the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps, the other about the changing policies of postwar reconstruction that pulled atrocity images into and out of public view. Tracing events associated with both the liberation of the concentration camps and the censorship that followed, Night Will Fall is a documentary gem: it seamlessly brings together original footage by American, British and Russian photographers and camera crews with on-site interviews among survivors and soldiers and conversations with archivists and filmmakers.
