Apple TV+ original podcast “The Line” is recognized by the Columbia School of Journalism for its impactful storytelling
Hosted by Dan Taberski and produced by Jigsaw, “The Line” is a non-fiction audio series on the life of US Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher who was charged with committing war crimes and also focuses on the moral aspect of war.
“The Line” is a six-part narrative non-fiction audio series that provides listeners a unique perspective on previously untold aspects of the story of US Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was charged with committing war crimes before ultimately being acquitted on all but one count: for posing in a photo with a corpse.
“The Line” takes an unflinching deep dive into moral ambiguities of forever wars and their impact on special operators as it examines the complicated realities involved with fighting a decades-long war, stripping back the layers surrounding Gallagher’s alleged crimes.
Molly Thompson, head of documentaries and unscripted, Apple TV+ said:
“Huge thanks to the duPont-Columbia Awards for this incredible honor. This award is a true testament to the thoughtful and impactful reporting in ‘The Line.’ Congratulations to Dan and our partners at Jigsaw Productions on this recognition of their work.”
