The 85th Annual Peabody Awards is set to return to Los Angeles. The ceremony will take place June 1 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel after the winners are announced in May.
The ceremony will honor award winners in entertainment, documentary,
news, podcast and radio, arts, children’s and youth, immersive and interactive media as well as public service programming. The Peabody Board of Jurors serve six-year terms and is composed of media industry professionals in addition to journalists, critics and scholars. All award-winning programs must receive an unanimous vote by the Board of Jurors.
“Our 2024 debut in L.A. was a major success, and we look forward to continuing to introduce the wider Hollywood creative community to what makes Peabody the premier award for media that matters,” Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody, said in a statement to press.
