CNN Leads News and Doc Emmy Nomination Tally; Canceled ‘Vice News Tonight’ Dominates Among Programs

CNN leads this years News Documentary Emmy nominations, with 45 overall including seven for Anderson Cooper 360. Meanwhile, Vice News Tonight, which was canceled this spring, landed 28 nominations helping Vice News score a total of 30, good enough for second place among outlets.

Among broadcasters, ABC and PBS were tops at 26 nominations each.

The News Documentary Emmy Awards honor the work of dedicated professionals working at the highest level of the broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking professions, said Adam Sharp, President and CEO, NATAS. They pay tribute to the journalists who bring us up-to-the-minute reporting on the critical stories of our time, and the documentary storytellers who explore important social, cultural, and political issues in great depth. NATAS is proud to celebrate the work of this years nominees.

The 44th Annual News Documentary Emmy Awards received more than 2300 submissions from the calendar year of 2022, and nominations were judged by a pool of over 1000 people from across the television and streaming/digital media news and documentary community. This years News Doc Emmys will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 27 (news categories) and on Thursday, Sept. 28 (doc categories) at the Palladium Times Square in New York.
