Business Wire
TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) today announced that KARE in Minneapolis
and KXTV in Sacramento have been nominated for Peabody Awards,
which honor the most compelling and empowering stories released in
broadcasting and streaming media during 2022.
In the News category, KARE was nominated for KARE 11
Investigates – The Gap: Failure to Treat, Failure to Protect, a
year-long series and primetime special. In the series, reporters
A.J. Lagoe and Brandon Stahl, along with investigative producer
Steve Eckert and photojournalists Gary Knox, David Peterlinz and
Ronald Stover revealed how violent criminal suspects deemed too
mentally ill to stand trial in Minnesota are often released without
adequate treatment or supervision – and go on to commit new crimes,
including murders. Citing KARE 11’s findings, state lawmakers
passed sweeping reforms.
Also in the News category, KXTV was nominated for The Price of
Care: Taken by the State. This five-episode investigation exposed
alarming practices and abuse by the state agency responsible for
protecting Californians with disabilities. The series has been
credited with helping to pass first-of-its-kind legislation to make
it easier for people to terminate conservatorships and wrote the
concept of “supported decision making” into California law. The
Price of Care was produced by investigative reporter Andie Judson,
director of special projects and engagement Gonzalo Magaña,
investigative producers Rory Ward and Tyler Horst, and producers
Mike Bunnell and Sabrina Sanchez, all of whom are part of the
award-winning KXTV/ABC10 Originals team.
“Investigative journalism has the power to uncover hidden
truths, expose corruption and bring justice to those who have been
wronged,” said Lynn Beall, EVP and COO, media operations, TEGNA.
“We are proud of our stations’ groundbreaking investigative
journalism that holds those in power accountable and sheds light on
the issues that matter most in our communities.”
