Giants of Broadcasting Set Again to Honor Legends

New York, N.Y. The Giants of Broadcasting & Electronic Arts is an annual celebration of the distinguished individuals who have for the past century been the creators, the innovators, the entrepreneurs, the performers and the journalists who have brought the electronic arts to the prominence they occupy in the U.S. and the world today, and who have set the stage for the future.

The next class of the best in broadcasting and electronic arts will join the honor roll in New York’s Gotham Hall this week - on October 15, 2015.

The Giants of Broadcasting & Electronic Arts was created by the Library of American Broadcasting to identify those professionals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence in four creative disciplines.

These are: the innovators whose vision and brilliance have brought electronic communications into being, the entrepreneurs whose acumen and resolve have turned possibilities into viability, the programmers (entertainers and actors as well as all manner of talent behind the footlights) whose art is the singular bond with the audience, and the journalists who collectively have created a new communications form whose effect has been no less than to transform mankind.

It is the purpose of the annual Giants ceremony and its associated endeavors to recognize this professionalism and excellence across a multimedia spectrum that now comprises radio, conventional television, cable TV, satellites, the internet and, prospectively, the social and developing media that will continue to impact audiences worldwide by broadcasting from one to many through a radio receiver, a television screen, a computer monitor or a mobile device. It’s life at the summit of the electronic arts.
