2021 International Emmy® News & Current Affairs Winners

The 2021 International Emmys for News & Current Affairs were presented September 28, 2021 by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences as part of an online ceremony with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The 2021 International Emmy® for News was presented to A Warning from Italy (Sky News, United Kingdom). In 2020, when coronavirus spread from the far-east, Italy overtook China as the epicenter. Yet nobody knew what this looked like – until, for the first time, Sky News revealed the horrific scale of the crisis in this world exclusive coverage.

The International Emmy® for Current Affairs was presented to In Cold Blood (Exposure) (DSP/ITV, United Kingdom). In Cold Blood examines the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history, a tragedy which killed more people than Grenfell, Hillsborough, 7/7 and the Birmingham bombings combined. Yet its scale and impact has until now been relatively understated in Britain.

Suddenly politics and the pursuit of liberty mattered more than economics even though the people of Hong Kong know that they were fighting a losing battle against an unflinching power.creating technologies that are being exported to authoritarian states worldwide.
