Winners of the 35th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards were announced Monday night by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
The News & Documentary Emmy Awards were presented at a ceremony at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in the Time Warner Center in New York City.
“The journalists and documentarians we pay tribute to this evening are our eyes and ears across the globe, bringing back the stories that affect each and every one of us,” said NATAS Chairman Chuck Dages. “Whether, an investigative special, a breaking news report, or a documentary on a pressing social or political issue, these are the stories we tune in to each night to be better informed and to guide us in this rapidly changing and politically volatile world. I can’t think of more important work than what tonight’s nominees represent. On behalf of the National Academy, we wish to congratulate all of them for their outstanding contribution to the art of broadcast journalism”
William J. Small, the legendary CBS News Washington Bureau chief from 1962-1974, and later President of NBC News, President of United Press International, Dean of Fordham’s Graduate School of Business, and Chairman of News & Documentary at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award.
CNN founder Ted Turner raised his fists in the air and accepted the News and Documentary Emmy award for lifetime achievement.
Standing before a hall full of television journalists, many of whom were inspired by Turner's invention of cable news, he said, "I don't know what to say except thanks."
During his founding years at CNN, "we just learned as we went along," Turner said. He called it "so much fun and so gratifying. I really enjoyed every moment of it."
