News and Documentary Emmy Awards NOMINEES FOR THE 38th ANNUAL NEWS & DOCUMENTARY EMMY® AWARDS ANNOUNCED Charles Osgood to be honored with Lifetime Achievement Award October 5th Award Presentation at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in NYC New York, N.Y. – July 25, 2017 – Nominations for the 38th Annual News and Documentary Emmy® Awards were announced today by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). The News & Documentary Emmy Awards will be presented on Thursday, October 5th, 2017, at a ceremony at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in the Time Warner Complex at Columbus Circle in New York City. The event will be attended by more than 1,000 television and news media industry executives, news and documentary producers and journalists. Awards will be presented in 49 categories. “Many say we’re in a ‘golden age’ of television and I would argue that the incredible growth of quality, in-depth reporting in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking has helped drive that change,” said Bob Mauro, President, NATAS. “We live in a continually-connected world where a tweet can set off a firestorm that travels around the world in seconds. These awards are a tribute to the outstanding work being done by these nominees who provide the viewer with thorough, fact-checked reporting, examining the stories of the day from multiple perspectives while never wavering in their quest to provide us with the truth about world events. It is with great pleasure that The National Academy honors the achievements of these many organizations and individuals. It is an added delight to honor the one-of-a-kind broadcasting career of Charles Osgood, who through his decades as host of the ‘Osgood File’ and as the anchor of ‘CBS Sunday Morning,’ has graced many a news story with his innate ability to engage his audience with humor, warmth and credibility.” The 38th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Awards honors programming distributed during the calendar year 2016.

  • 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.

  • The Nimrod Antarctic Expedition
    THE NIMROD ANTARCTIC EXPENDITION Dr. W. A. Rupert Michell (1879-1966) Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922), a giant of Antarctic exploration, made four journeys into the earth’s most southerly continent. On the Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904 he was Third Officer to Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912)1. Then, between 1907 and 1922, he organized and led three expeditions2 himself. On the first of these his team included a 28-year- old doctor from Perth, Ontario, W. A. R. Michell. William Arthur ‘Rupert’ Michell was born at Perth, on October 18, 1879, the second son of Francis Lambton Michell (1849-1928) and Margaret Helen Bell (1854-1930). His father was, first, a teacher and later principal at the Perth Collegiate Institute and then, County Inspector of Public Schools. Michell received his primary and secondary education at Perth and in 1902 graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School. He was on staff at Hamilton General Hospital until 1904 when he returned to Lanark County and purchased the practice of Dr. Herbert Edwin Gage (1867-1926) at McDonalds Corners, in Dalhousie Township, north of Perth. In 1906 Michell left McDonald’s Corners and Canada for England where he planned to undertake post graduate studies. Before doing so, however, he signed on with the Elder-Dempster Line as a ship’s surgeon. The shipping line had been founded in 1868 specifically to serve travel and trade between the United Kingdom and colonial outposts on the west coast of Africa. Elder-Dempster ships provided scheduled service to-and- from Sierra Leone; Cape Palmas (Liberia); Cape Coast Castle and Accra (Ghana); Lagos, Benin Bonny and Old Calabar (Nigeria); and Fernando Po (Equatorial Guinea).
