TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) today announced that KARE in Minneapolis
has received a Peabody Award, which honor the most compelling and
empowering stories released in broadcasting and streaming media
during 2022.
KARE was honored in the News category 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.
“Investigative journalism is a critical tool for shining a light
on injustice,” said Lynn Beall, EVP and COO, media operations,
TEGNA. “We are proud of KARE’s unwavering commitment to in-depth
investigative reporting that has brought transparency,
accountability and change to Minnesota.”
“KARE’s investigative team continues to set a high standard for
local investigations,” said Stacey Nogy, director of news content
at KARE. “This achievement underscores KARE’s and TEGNA’s
commitment to impactful local journalism and we are grateful and
humbled by this recognition.”
