ProPublica has won the first-ever Peabody Catalyst Award for a story that revealed a controversial government practice of family separation at the border, the Peabody Board of Jurors announced Tuesday morning.
The independent, nonprofit newsroom was recognized for publishing approximately eight minutes of audio of ten sobbing Central American children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Within 48 hours of publication, the Trump administration halted its “zero tolerance” illegal immigration policy practice, which had been blamed for the separation of families crossing the border.
“No fake news here,” said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of the Peabody Awards. “Rather, ProPublica worked with local sources to find and publicize incontrovertible evidence of government policies — and their horrific application — that the government was also overtly downplaying. That is what courageous and effective journalism looks like.”
