The Television Academy Honors annually awards television programs with socially conscious approaches to social issues.
History
editThe 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 most recent of these Emmys, intended to have been hosted in 2023, was cancelled due to the then Writers Guild of America strike.[3]
