SUMMER 2005
To The Best Of Our Knowledge
Wins Peabody Award
Wisconsin Public Radio's To The Best Of Our Knowledge was
honored this spring with a prestigious George Peabody Award.
Program creators Steve Paulson, Jim
Fleming, and Anne Strainchamps accepted the award at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York on May 16.
The Peabody Awards, the oldest honor in
electronic media, recognize distinguished achievement and
meritorious service by radio and television networks, stations,
producing organizations, cable television organizations, and
individuals. They perpetuate the memory of the
banker-philanthropist whose name they bear. The Grady College
of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of
Georgia administers the awards program.
To The Best Of Our Knowledge was singled out by the board for
achievement in radio. "It's an honor that's been
earned by an extraordinary staff," says program host Jim
Fleming. "What a pleasure!"
"Winning such a prestigious award is a
testament to our body of work," said program
creators and producers Steve Paulson and Anne Strainchamps.
"It's a recognition of all the great people
we've interviewed over the years, and that public radio still
matters."
To The Best Of Our Knowledge is produced by Wisconsin Public Radio and
distributed by Public Radio International to more than 125
public radio stations across the United States and to Armed
Forces Radio. Sirius Satellite Radio also includes the
series in its morning and afternoon schedules.
Here in Wisconsin the series can be heard
on Sundays at noon on the Ideas Network stations, Sundays
at 9:00 a.m. on the NPR News & Classical Music stations,
and through the audio streaming service on our Web site.
