FAIRFIELD — The 83rd Annual Peabody Nominees have been announced, and WSHU’s “Still Newtown” podcast — developed in partnership with The Newtown Bee — has been nominated for the prestigious Peabody Award by unanimous vote from the Board of Jurors.

According to their website, the Peabody Awards “honor excellence in storytelling that reflects the social issues and the emerging voices of our day.”

“Still Newtown” is an 11-part podcast series hosted by WSHU Reporter Davis Dunavin that chronicles the life of the Sandy Hook community a decade after the shooting. Insightfully reported and deeply researched, the podcast reveals a community’s strength and resilience since the tragic losses.

Besides focusing on The Newtown Bee in one of its segments, Dunavin early on in the development process partnered with the newspaper and utilized its staff and resources to supplement sourcing and content for a number of others.

“We’re honored and humbled by this nomination. And we’re extraordinarily thankful for our partnership with The Newtown Bee, who helped bring this story together,” Dunavin said. “The Bee’s participation was absolutely fundamental to its success, and I’m certain this nomination would not have been possible if not for them.”

WSHU’s “Still Newtown” is among nine finalists in the Podcast and Radio category, including national programs such as “This American Life” and “On the Media.” The final winners from all categories will be announced on May 9, and the awards presentation ceremony will take place on June 11 in Los Angeles.

“We are exceptionally proud of the Peabody nomination,” said Terry Sheridan, WSHU’s senior director of news and education. “Davis and his team worked incredibly hard to tell this story with great sensitivity, empathy and accuracy.”

“I’m honored and humbled by this nomination,” Dunavin said. “This series stood on the strength of the many voices from Newtown who shared their personal stories, and I’m glad I could help them be heard. This nomination is a testament to their bravery and perseverance.”

In addition to Davis, Cindy Carpien edited the podcast, and Jon Pinnow was responsible for sound design. Sabrina Garone worked as a producer, and the podcast employed a team of fact-checkers and production assistants from Sacred Heart University, Stony Brook University, and Yale University.

“We wanted ‘Still Newtown’ to tell this story the way it deserved to be told — both sensitively and with respect to the Newtown community,” Dunavin added. “It took the invaluable help of our partners at The Newtown Bee, along with the gracious participation of so many important voices, to make this nomination possible.”
