GPB Education Wins NETA Awards

CEO SPOTLIGHT

GPB EDUCATION RECOGNIZED BY NETA WITH TWO PUBLIC MEDIA AWARDS

by GPB CEO Teya Ryan

This month, I’d like to congratulate members of GPB’s Education division for the recognition they received during the 54th Annual Public Media Awards hosted in September by The National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA). The Public Media Awards honor work of the highest caliber in community engagement, content, education, marketing and communications.

GPB Education won for Excellence in Education in the Overall Excellence category. GPB Education staff were also recognized in the Education category of Learning Events for the Georgia Peanuts Live Exploration.

With the exception of the Overall Excellence categories, stations competed within their divisions based on their station size. Awards are judged by a group of expert panelists from within the public media system, as well as industry professionals working outside of public media.
