Television History, the Peabody Archive, and Cultural Memory is the
first edited volume devoted to the Peabody Awards Collection, a
unique repository of radio and TV programs submitted yearly since
1941 for consideration for the prestigious Peabody Awards. The
essays in this volume explore the influence of the Peabody Awards
Collection as an archive of the vital medium of TV, turning their
attention to the wealth of programs considered for Peabody Awards
that were not honored and thus have largely been forgotten and yet
have the potential to reshape our understanding of American
television history. Because the collection contains programming
produced by stations across the nation, it is a distinctive
repository of cultural memory; many of the programs found in it are
not represented in the canon that dominates our understanding of
American broadcast history. The contributions to this volume ask a
range of important questions. What do we find if we look to the
archive for what's been forgotten? How does our understanding of
gender, class, or racial representations shift? What different
strategies did producers use to connect with audiences and
construct communities that may be lost? This volume's contributors
examine intersections of citizenship and subjectivity in
public-service programs, compare local and national coverage of
particular individuals and social issues, and draw our attention to
types of programming that have disappeared. Together they show how
locally produced programs-from both commercial and public
stations-have acted on behalf of their communities, challenging
representations of culture, politics, and people.
