WGBY Honored With National Education Award

09:23AM / Tuesday, March 17, 2009

WGBY, Public Television for western New England, was honored March 7th with a My Source Community Impact Award for Education from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in Washington, DC for its role in advancing educational services to area communities.

The My Source Community Impact Awards for Education were created by CPB to give well-deserved recognition to public television stations for their commitment to providing educational services to learners of all ages and abilities, all races and backgrounds, from preschoolers to senior citizens, as well as for the services the stations provide to teachers, parents and caregivers.

According to the CPB, WGBY was honored for its involvement in establishing The Latino Youth Media Institute, creating in-depth media and journalism training for Latino Students, and spearheading a multiplatform project examining the role of Currier & Ives in shaping the American identity for Massachusetts students studying American History.

The award was presented to WGBY General Manager Russell J. Peotter by CPB’s senior vice president of Education and Children’s Content, Dr. Susan Zelman, at the Council of Chief State School Officers/Public Broadcasting Executive Summit in Washington, DC.

“Education is a core value of public service media, on air, online and in the community,” said Pat Harrison, president and CEO of CPB. “CPB congratulates WGBY for this important commitment to community and our country through education.”

This award is wonderful recognition not only for WGBY but also for our community partners such as The Republican, The Springfield Museums, Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield and many others.” said Peotter.

For more information on the My Source Community Impact Awards for Education, please visit  www.cpb.org.

WGBY (www.wgby.org), a community supported public broadcasting organization, connects the people of the western New England to events, ideas and each other through national PBS programming and locally produced series and specials. On the cutting edge of programming with four television channels, video on demand, podcasting and streaming video, WGBY is one of the region’s most accessible community institutions, providing lifelong learning opportunities for all.
