New York, June 9, 2016 –<\/strong> Maria R\u00f8rbye R\u00f8nn, the Chief Executive Officer & Director General of Danish Broadcasting Corporation, which pioneered and drove the success of Nordic Noir<\/i> drama around the world, will receive the 2016 International Emmy\u00ae Directorate Award, on Monday, November 21, in New York City. DR is Denmark’s public service broadcasting institution. Some of its recent hits include Borgen, The Bridge<\/i> and The Killing<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“Maria R\u00f8rbye R\u00f8nn spearheads one of the world’s most groundbreaking public service television organizations,” said Bruce L. Paisner, President & CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. “Now an industry standard for excellence Nordic Noir<\/i> has become a genre in its own right, influencing screenwriters and inspiring audiences far beyond the Scandinavian Peninsula.”<\/p>\n

Under Maria R\u00f8rbye R\u00f8nn’s leadership, DR has continued to assert itself and expand its position within Nordic Noir drama.<\/p>\n

“As a small player in a reality of growing global media offerings we believe that original quality content is our main characteristics made possible due to the public service which allows us to invest in creative environments,” says Maria R\u00f8rbye R\u00f8nn . “I am immensely proud of the honor and share it with all my colleagues in DR. They are the true winners. On behalf of everyone at DR I want to thank the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for this recognition.”<\/p>\n

DR has gone through a significant development as a public service broadcasting institution the past years. Besides creating original quality content the focus is on improving to provide public service content available across platforms. Thus DR supports the democratic debate and strengthens the cultural identity. Maria R\u00f8rbye R\u00f8nn started her career at DR in 1995 in the legal department and rose through the ranks by holding several key executive positions. She was appointed CEO\/Director General in 2011.<\/p>\n

For generations, DR’s drama series have drawn huge audiences in Scandinavia and increasingly throughout the world with global international distribution and local versions in the UK, France and the United States. DR boasts 22 International Emmy\u00ae Nominations, four International Emmy\u00ae Wins in the Drama Category for The Protectors <\/i>(2009), The Eagle<\/i> (2005), Nikolaj and Julie<\/i> (2003), Unit One<\/i> (2002) and one International Emmy\u00ae Win in the TV-Movie\/Mini-Series Category for Young Anderson<\/i>(2005).<\/p>\n
