SubscribeWealth shared at Business Emmys with ABC, CBS & PBS winning two apiece
While CBS dominated nominations for the sixth annual Business and Financial Reporting Emmys with a dozen nods, it won only two awards. Both were for interpretation of a business news story with "The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric" winning the regular newscast category for the segment "Life and Debt in America" while the "60 Minutes" story "King of Sushi" tied for the newsmagazine award with two reports from "Now on PBS" — "India Rising" and "Taxing the Poor." ABC took two prizes as well for coverage of a current business news story — "Global Food Crisis" — on a regular newscast ("ABC World News with Charles Gibson") and investigate reporting -- "The Multimillion Dollar Appeal" — on a newscast ("ABC News Nightline").
The kudos were handed out during a luncheon Tuesday at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. David Schlesinger, editor in chief of Reuters News, was honored with a lifetime achievement award, with CNN's Christiane Amanpour paying tribute. These awards are bestowed by the Gotham-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which also administers the daytime and news Emmys. (The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in Hollywood handles the prime-time Emmys.)
