RD 23 ANNUAL NEWS & DOCUMENTARY EMMY AWARDS NOMINATIONS IMMEDIATE RELEASE Revised: 8/16/02 THE 23RD ANNUAL NEWS AND DOCUMENTARY EMMY AWARD NOMINEES ANNOUNCED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES New York, July 22, 2002 -- The 23rd Annual News and Documentary Emmy Award nominees were announced today by Peter O. Price, President of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). "We received a record number of entries this year for the News and Documentary Emmy Awards,” said Price. “Entries totaled 1654, up from last year’s 1450.” The awards recognize outstanding achievement by individuals and programs broadcast during the 2001 calendar year. “These entries and nominations reflect the extraordinary year of television news coverage that 2001 proved to be,” said Bill Small, Vice Chairman for News and Documentaries. “This year’s awards will pay tribute to the role of broadcast journalists in covering 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan, among the most significant news stories in modern history. It will also reflect that same excellence in the coverage of news in other key areas affecting our culture including the AIDS crisis as a world health problem and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” This year, the presentation of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards will be part of a series of events titled “9/11 to 9/11: A Tribute to News Professionals.” The tribute will begin on Monday, September 9, at the Essex House with a noontime lunch for newsmakers and leading television journalists and executives. Later that day, a symposium attended by journalists, television executives, newsmakers and students will be held at Fordham University to study the role of television in covering the current world crisis. The News and Documentary Emmy Awards will be presented at a black-tie dinner and ceremony on Tuesday, September 10th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. At the ceremony, NATAS will honor Roone Arledge, Chairman, ABC News with the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. Barbara Walters will make the presentation.
