Television Academy Honors Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Television Academy Honors annually awards television programs with socially conscious approaches to social issues.
The Television Academy Honors were established in 2008 to recognize "Television with a Conscience"—television programming that inspires, informs, motivates and even has the power to change lives.[1][2]
The presentation in 2023 was cancelled due to the then Writers Guild of America strike.[3]
