April 2, 2008 - Award Recognizes Woodruff's Documentary "To Iraq and Back," as well as
Reports on "World News with Charles Gibson" and "Nightline"


ABC News' Bob Woodruff and team have won a Peabody Award, the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication announced today. The Peabody Board, who made the selections, said the winners represent "the best in electronic media for 2007."

Woodruff and team were honored for "Wounds of War - The Long Road Home for Our Nation's Veterans," which includes his hour-long documentary, "To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports," and a series of reports on "World News with Charles Gibson" and "Nightline." These comprehensive reports examined traumatic brain injuries in Iraq war veterans -- a topic all too familiar to Woodruff. Less than a year after sustaining serious injuries in a roadside attack while reporting in Iraq, he returned to the air with "To Iraq and Back." This special documented his remarkable recovery and the experiences of other soldiers who have returned from war with traumatic brain injuries. Determined to keep the nation focused on this issue, Woodruff has followed up the special with a series of reports on wounded veterans, while also highlighting the struggles their families face as they adapt to life with a severely injured husband or father.
