NBC News, MSNBC and NBCNews.com were also honored for continuing coverage of ISIS.

CNN nabbed a Peabody Award for its coverage of treatment delays in Veterans Administration hospitals and the kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls by Boko Haram.

WVUE-TV Austin’s investigative story on Texas’ cuts to mental health care programs earned the station a Peabody, as did Scripps’ Under the Radar series on sex offenders.
