THE 2014 INTERNATIONAL EMMY\u00ae AWARDS CURRENT AFFAIRS & NEWS NOMINEES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CURRENT AFFAIRS<\/span> <\/p>\n

The Fifth Estate: Made in Bangladesh<\/strong>
\nCanadian Broadcasting Corporation<\/strong>
\nCanada<\/strong>
\nIn North America, viewers sometimes turn away from stories about overseas disasters. When pictures of the Rana Plaza collapse first came out, many had that reaction. Dhaka seemed like a million miles away. ‘Made in Bangladesh’ is a personal story that makes the “foreign” suddenly seem universal.<\/p>\n

The Long Journey Home<\/strong>
\nAntena 3<\/strong>
\nRomania<\/strong>
\nA boy saved from the abominable orphanage in Siret and now living in the US gathers the courage to return to Romania to meet the man who saved his life in the orphanage and the mother who abandoned him and thought he was gone.<\/p>\n

Journalism for All – The Route of the K-Money<\/strong>
\nCanal 13 Artear<\/strong>
\nArgentina<\/strong>
\n“The Route of the K-Money” uncovers a money-laundering network that involves associates of the current President Cristina Kirchner and the late former President N\u00e9stor Kirchner. This chapter belongs to the last show of the year, in which a summary of the investigation is presented.<\/p>\n

Sunday Report – One Child Policy<\/strong>
\nTelevision Broadcasts Limited<\/strong>
\nHong Kong, China<\/strong>
\nChina’s One-child policy, conceived over 30 years ago, is said to be effective in controlling the increasing population. But over the years, countless women have suffered induced abortions, forced tube-tying and infanticide, ruining entire families. How is family planning enforced and at what cost?<\/p>\n

NEWS<\/span><\/p>\n

Fant\u00e1stico e Jornal Nacional – Fire in a Nightclub<\/strong>
\nTV Globo<\/strong>
\nBrazil<\/strong>
\nOn January 27th, the third deadliest nightclub fire in the world killed 242 people in an overcrowded night spot. Two airplanes were sent to Southern Brazil; a team of over 20 professionals covered the story. We interviewed the club owner and built a replica to explain the tragedy.<\/p>\n

News – Guantanamo Hunger Strike Coverage<\/strong>
\nRT News Channel<\/strong>
\nRussia<\/strong>
\nRT’s Guantanamo coverage penetrates the global source of controversy and shame. Detention without trial, and a spiral into a mass hunger strike that ran over six months and brought force-feeding into the global news cycle were at the core of our coverage that featured activists, experts, and ex-inmates alike.<\/p>\n

Syria’s Descent<\/strong>
\nITN for Channel 4 News<\/strong>
\nUnited Kingdom<\/strong>
\nWe chart Syria’s descent into hopelessness, as the brutal civil war entered its third year. With searing reports from Aleppo, Damascus, Ras-al-Ayn and Zaatari refugee camps, we showed the destruction of a country and the brutalization of its people.<\/p>\n

TV Patrol Weekend – Most Powerful Storm<\/strong>
\nABS-CBN<\/strong>
\nPhilippines<\/strong>
\nUnnerving images of the massive destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan (Local Name: Yolanda) aired first on TV Patrol Weekend. ABS-CBN rescued their news team trapped in Tacloban City to report on the devastation. Nothing was spared in the city and other parts of Leyte.<\/p>\n
