Traditional media dominates new media Emmys
Traditional media companies -- including the websites of The New York Times and The Washington Post -- dominated the first Emmy Award nominations for programming on nontraditional delivery platforms, such as broadband, video, mobile phones and portable media players.
The nominations include:
* "The Diary of Gideon in Pakistan," MTV News on Overdrive. Three segments by producer-reporter Gideon Yago from October 2005 at the site of the deadly Pakistan earthquake. Included are Web reporting and photo "flipbooks" that spotlighted a university where 400 students were killed almost instantly, profiles of two Dallas youths who flew to Pakistan to provide support and life in a refugee camp in the Kashmir province.
* "Hurricane Katrina Batters Gulf Coast," National Geographic/NationalGeographic.com on MSN.com. Four-part background piece that gave in-depth reporting about how Hurricane Katrina formed and the devastation it caused, as well as a daily chronology of what happened in September.
* "Op-Ed Special Report: The Forgotten Genocide," NYTimes.com. Documentary designed for the Web by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof discussing the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. It was timed to a column Kristof wrote from Dubai.
* "A Shifting Bolivia," NYTimes.com. Two pieces timed to New York Times print edition stories on the presidency of Bolivia's Evo Morales.
* "Child Porn: Interviews With Justin Berry," NYTimes.com. Growing out of Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald's investigation of the child pornography business, these were interviews with a 19-year-old who had been running his own webcam porn business since he was 13.
* "Fueling Azerbaijan's Future," WashingtonPost.com. Documentary about problems facing the former Soviet republic.
* "Hurricane Katrina Coverage in New Orleans," WashingtonPost.com. The work of WashingtonPost.com's video journalist Travis Fox, who used a digital camera to document the lives of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
A winner will be announced at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards on Sept. 25.
