The International Emmy Award for Best Current Affairs is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to the best current affairs programming produced and initially aired outside of the United States. The categories for international journalism are presented at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards alongside their American counterparts. [1] It was first presented in 2007.
Rules and regulations
According to the rules of the International Academy, the category is intended for "non-fiction story from a news magazine, news oriented talk-show, or an individual or continuing feature story in a regularly scheduled newscast". [2]
In order to qualify for the category, the entry must be over ten minutes in length. The entry may cover a range of current news, investigative reports, and/or human interest topics, but they must be devoted to a single story, subject, or theme. If the submission is part of a program comprising multiple stories (i.e. each report has its own storyline and conclusion), each story must be submitted as a separate entry.
