Seven programs that have leveraged the power of television to inspire social change will receive awards at the 11th annual Television Academy Honors, to be held May 31 at NeueHouse Hollywood. Actress-producer-activist Dana Delany will host for the 10th consecutive year.

The 2018 honorees include:

Andi Mack
Daughters of Destiny
Forbidden: Undocumented & Queer in Rural America
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
LA 92
One Day at a Time
13 Reasons Why

The Television Academy Honors celebrates programming across numerous platforms and genres that address the complex challenges and important social issues facing society in a compelling and impactful way. Showrunners and producers are honored for channeling the power of television to explore these issues via captivating and thoughtful storytelling that advances positive change.

“It’s been a gift to host Television Academy Honors for the past 10 years. Every year I learn something new and am inspired by the work that is recognized,” said Delany. “With all the places to watch TV now, we have a wealth of human stories to tell. This year’s honorees are very special.”

“Our dynamic television landscape is a catalyst for raising awareness of relevant issues around the globe,” said Television Academy Chairman and CEO Hayma Washington.

“We are proud to be part of an industry that spreads understanding, uncovers truth, encourages compassion and shines a light on darkness.”

Howard Meltzer, CSA, Governor for the Academy’s Casting Peer Group, chaired this year’s Television Academy Honors selection committee, with Mitch Waldow serving as vice-chair.

Honorees represent a diverse spectrum of important issues challenging our world, including sexual harassment, LGBTQ prejudice and acceptance, veterans’ healthcare, teen mental health and suicide, racial discrimination, immigrant rights, and social justice.
