Peabody Award Goes to PBS NewsHour for January 6 Reporting
On June 7, 2022, PBS NewsHour’s January 6th reporting was named the winner of a Peabody Award.
“We are honored to have Lisa Desjardins, Judy Woodruff, and the rest of the NewsHour team be recognized with a Peabody Award for their intrepid reporting on January 6th,” said NewsHour’s senior executive producer Sara Just. “Our anchor, correspondents, producers, and the entire team were committed to bringing the American people the news as it unfolded in real-time and each went above and beyond to shed light on the events of one of the darkest days in America’s modern history; and continued to do so in the days, weeks, and months following the insurrection.”
As the world was witnessing the attacks on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, PBS NewsHour Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins was the only journalist outside of lockdown and reporting from the halls of Congress. Desjardins relayed the news as insurrectionists stormed into the building and interviewed one of them live during NewsHour’s special on PBS.
