Described by media commentators as a major educational service and a valuable resource for researchers of politics and history,[23][105][106] the C-SPAN Video Library has also had a major role in media and opposition research in several U.S. political campaigns.[107] It won a Peabody Award in 2010 "for creating an enduring archive of the history of American policymaking, and for providing it as a free, user-friendly public service."[108]
