Vice News has been nominated for four Emmy Awards in the news and documentary category, which recognizes outstanding achievement in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking.
Its series ‘Russian Roulette’ has been nominated for both its breaking news coverage and its video journalism. It covers the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
‘The Architect,’ hosted by Vice News correspondent Kaj Larsen, has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Interview.’ It features the first on-camera interview with Dr. James Mitchell, the architect behind the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program.
Eight-part series ‘Last Chance High’ was nominated for its editing chops. It follows the lives of students at Moses Montefiore Academy, a school for some of Chicago’s most at-risk youth.
Vice News editor-in-chief and executive producer Jason Mojica said: "It feels great to see the Vice News team recognized for all the hard work they do. I know the competition is stiff and the jury of our peers is quite discerning, so getting four nominations for work we did in our first year of existence is quite gratifying."
Founded in early 2014, Vice News is Vice Media’s digital news branch.
PBS received the most nominations for the 36th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards, with 57 nominations total. CBS is in second with 44 and ABC in third with 17.
