Minnesota Public Radio News on Monday received a 2014 George Foster Peabody award for “Betrayed by Silence,” its documentary about child sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
“We’re humbled and grateful to receive the award,” Managing Editor Chris Worthington said in a news release. “The individual stories throughout the investigation were superbly reported and important, yet difficult because of the victims’ painful experiences.”
The investigation, published in July, was reported by Madeleine Baran, produced by Sasha Aslanian and edited by news director Mike Edgerly. Worthington supervised the project.
The Peabody Awards, administered by Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia, recognize excellence in broadcast journalism.
