WOUNDED CORRESPONDENTS RECEIVE PEABODYS

ABC's Bob Woodruff and CBS's Kimberly Dozier, each seriously injured while reporting from Iraq, were among 35 recipients of George Foster Peabody Awards for broadcasting excellence announced Wednesday by the University of Georgia. The two correspondents were recognized for reports about wounded GI's, Woodruff for his series titled "Wounds of War -- The Long Road Home for Our Nation's Veterans," and Dozier for her CBS Sunday Morning report, "The Way Home," about two women veterans who lost limbs in Iraq. Scott Pelley's report, "The Killings in Haditha," won a Peabody for CBS's 60 Minutes. Among the entertainment awards, NBC's 30 Rock, Bravo's Project Runway, AMC's Mad Men, Showtime's Mad Men, and Comedy Central's The Colbert Report were each honored. The awards will be handed out during ceremonies in New York on June 16 hosted by NBC anchor Brian Williams.
