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 (revised 12.06.17) – 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.

The list of nominees is also available on the National Television Academy's website:
