### Award Overview
63rd Galaxy Awards - Frontier Award
Subject: TBS/JNN 'Post-War 80 Years Project: Connecting, Connected'
Organizer: Association of Broadcast Critics (NPO)
Award Ceremony: Monday, June 1, 2026
### Reason for Selection (Selection Review by the Association of Broadcast Critics)
Eighty years after the war. As opportunities to pass on war memories and testimonies to the next generation decrease, this project was developed with the aim of helping people realize the foolishness and tragedy of war. With the cooperation of JNN stations, over 100 features were broadcast nationwide on various news programs such as 'JNN Midday News,' 'N-Sta,' 'news23,' 'Hodo Tokushu,' and 'Sunday Morning.' Furthermore, these features were posted on the TBS/JNN news site 'TBS NEWS DIG,' boldly addressing the issue of fading memories.
On the internet, the '#ConnectingMemories' campaign was developed jointly with Yahoo! News. Additionally, note joined the effort, providing a platform for general viewers to write down war experiences heard from their grandparents or their thoughts on peace, and to post and share data such as photos and diaries from that time, reaching a large number of the younger generation. The initiative to effectively connect flow-type media and stock-type media expanded the possibilities of journalism and indicated the ideal direction for terrestrial broadcasting.
