ABC World News Tonight with David Muir took home the award for outstanding live news program, while CNN’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper won outstanding recorded news program.
The awards, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, handed out Wednesday night recognized winners in the news categories. Winners will be announced in the documentary categories during a ceremony on Thursday at the Palladium Times Square in New York City.
“Those who shine a light on inconvenient truths, give voice to the voiceless, or simply report
documented facts are far too often punished through efforts to demonize and delegitimize such
essential work,” Adam Sharp, NATAS CEO and president wrote in a statement. “On these two nights, we do the vital opposite. The Emmys celebrate those who face these headwinds to bring important stories to our screens and, in turn, provide a vision of excellence that inspires the next generation to follow.”
The presenters at Wednesday’s ceremony included Jim Axelrod (CBS News), Nada Bashir (CNN), Jamelle Bouie (The New York Times), Maria Antonieta Collins (Univision), Joe Fryer (NBC News), Amna Nawaz (PBS NewsHour), Rachel Scott (ABC News), Del Walters (Scripps News) and Rand Morrison (Executive Producer, CBS Sunday Morning).
Jane Pauley, Emmy-winning journalist/anchor/author, also received the Lifetime Achievement Award on Wednesday, and Alex Gibney, Academy Award-winning documentarian/director/producer, is set to receive the honor Thursday.
