Are webcasts and other kinds of online programming eligible for entry in the News & Documentary Emmy Awards?
Yes. Online programming such as webcasts are eligible for entry in the News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Online programming may be entered in any News & Documentary Emmy category. The New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming categories (categories 25-27) may be especially appropriate for online programming, as they are judged online, and recognize new approaches to the practice, presentation and delivery of news & documentary programming. They are open to over-the-air, cable, and satellite broadcasters, as well as online programming, and are intended to recognize new ways of doing documentaries and broadcast journalism, from new approaches to traditional broadcasts, to the use of new media (associated websites, interactivity etc.), to other creative and innovative means of practicing these crafts and presenting programming to the viewer.
