Small, with our Lifetime EMMY® AWARDS Achievement Award for News. Long before he shared his expertise and wisdom leading our News Recognizing Excellence in & Documentary division, Bill was the Bureau Chief of the CBS Washington news office during International News & Current Affairs what some have called the “glory days” of television news. Throughout the ’60s and ’70s and into by Bruce Paisner the ’80s, he was paramount in the dramatic evolution of network news, recruiting the likes of Dan Rather, Bob Schieffer, Diane Sawyer, Lesley Stahl, Bill Moyers, and many others. He changed not 14 NOMINEES only who we watched each evening but how. 44 PRESENTERS We, at the National Academy, would also like to celebrate a treasured-goal: our first ever awards reserved exclusively for Spanish-language news & documentary broadcasts in our 35 year history! 48 OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS We are happy to embrace our Hispanic colleagues in three new categories. & SCIENCES In addition, we would like to thank all of the industry professionals who generously gave of their time to evaluate and judge the over 1,700 entries we received this year.

SSMALLMALL News & Doc Emmys 2014 program.indd 4 9/18/14 7:09 PM 35th Annual NEWS & DDOCUMENTARYOCUMENTARY EEMMYMMY® AAWARDSWARDS A Force for Journalistic Excellence in the Glory Days of TV News by Elizabeth Jensen A simple list of names conveys the enormity of William J. Small’s impact on the television news business. Dan Rather. Diane Sawyer. Bill Moyers. Bob Schieffer. Bernard Shaw. Connie Chung. Lesley Stahl. Ed Bradley. These giants of the business, and many more well-known names from in front of the camera and behind it, in some way owe their television careers to Small, this year’s lifetime achievement honoree. Small — or “Mr. Small” as he was invariably referred to — ran the legendary CBS News Washington bureau from 1962 to 1974, and then was promoted to senior vice president, director of news and a corporate vice president. Later, he was the president of NBC News, the president of United Press International and the dean of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business. But it was from his post as Washington bureau chief during the formative years in the television news business that he first made his lasting mark, his insightful talent choices and driving work ethos helping shape the business for the decades to follow. A Chicago native who earned his master’s degree from the University of Chicago after an Army stint, Small started his broadcast career in radio. DAN RATHER AND BILL SMALL IN CHINA In 1962, he had switched to television and was running the newsroom at Louisville, Ky., CBS affiliate WHAS-TV, when he caught the attention of CBS News officials. As Roger Mudd chronicles in his 2008 book “The Place to Be; Washington, CBS, and the Glory Days of Television News,” soon after Small arrived at the Washington bureau, Walter Cronkite’s 15-minute CBS Evening News expanded into a full half-hour, ensuring that the bureau “would be the breadbasket of the CBS News operation.” Thanks to what Mudd called an “uncanny” eye for talent, Small’s bureau was stocked during his tenure with a mix of ambitious up-and-comers such as Rather and Schieffer, and seasoned pros, including Harry Reasoner, and Murrow Boys Eric Sevareid and Daniel Schorr. The list of on-air employees who came through included Marvin Kalb, Ike Pappas, Rita Braver, Bruce Morton, Martha Teichner and Martin Agronsky, and, on the production side Tom Bettag, Cindy Samuels, Ed Fouhy, and Susan Zirinsky, among others. It was, said Rather, “a pantheon of some of the best television journalists who practiced the craft.” Taming of some of the “huge egos” was a part of the job, Rather said, but no one questioned Small’s authority; he ran the bureau “with a Patton-esque fervor,” as Desmond Smith put it in a 1981 New York Magazine profile. His driven correspondents helped contribute to a turnaround for CBS, as the evening newscast surpassed NBC Nightly News in the ratings in 1968. Even more important than the network competition was the standard Small brought to journalism overall, during an era when the monumental stories included the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Civil Rights move- ment. “I think it’s really important to understand that Bill preached the ROBERT KENNEDY AND BILL SMALL THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES 5 News & Doc Emmys 2014 program.indd 5 9/18/14 7:09 PM 35th35 Annual NEWSN & DDOCUMENTARYOCUMENTARY EEMMYMMY® AWARDS gospel that our role in the Washington bureau was to be a force for better he engenders such journalism, and that’s almost a verbatim quote,” said Rather.

It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future. 3 HUMAN NATURE DIRECTED BY ADAM BOLT BACKSTORY Human Nature is about the power of scientific research to change the course of human history, ​ evolution, and the natural world.

  • Cheap Eats, Grown Folks Karaoke, and More Secrets of Fort Greene
    December 20, 2017 Cheap eats, grown folks karaoke, and more secrets of Fort Greene Fort Greene Park is 30 acres on a hill that, at the top, has dramatic views of the city. cisc1970/Flickr Fort Greene is currently getting its close-up: The Brooklyn neighborhood is the setting for Spike Lee's Netflix show, She's Gotta Have It, a reboot of his 1986 film. The director famously grew up in the area, and one of the series' themes is how much things have changed. There's no question that Fort Greene is heavily gentrified. The New York Times was documentingthe neighborhood's "revitalization" as early as 1985. It's not difficult to figure out what draws moneyed newcomers: There are historic brownstone-lined blocks, a 30-acre park that's about to get $5 million in upgrades, abundant transit options (Atlantic Terminal is close by, and you'll find the C at Lafayette Avenue, the G at Fulton Street, the 2,3, 4 and 5 at Nevins Street, and the B and Q at Dekalb Avenue), arts venues, and an array of bars and restaurants. The past is still present in Fort Greene in many ways. In the heart of Fort Greene Park is a monument commemorating the thousands of men and women who died aboard British prison ships during the American revolution. A park bench is dedicated to the author Richard Wright, who penned his novel Native Son in the park many decades later. Not far from the park is the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, which celebrates the contributions of people of African descent, and has hosted exhibitions highlighting Brooklyn artists.

  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.
