This year’s award presenters included: Scott Pelley, anchor and managing editor, CBS Evening News and correspondent, 60 Minutes; Brian Ross, ABC News’ chief investigative correspondent; Gwen Ifill, moderator and managing editor of Washington Week and senior correspondent for The PBS NewsHour; Sanjay Gupta, MD, CNN chief medical correspondent; Sheila Nevins, president, HBO Documentary Films; Lawrence O’Donnell, host of MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell; and Bill Small, past chairman of the News & Documentary Emmy Awards.  The International Emmy® Awards for News and Current Affairs were presented by Bruce Paisner, President & CEO of The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the largest organization of broadcasters in the world, which recognizes excellence in international television programming with The International Emmy® Award. 

 

The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to legendary broadcaster Larry King, and presented by Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor, NBC Nightly News. NATAS chairman Malachy Wienges described King as “one of the most influential talk show hosts in the history of television news. We at the Academy are delighted to honor Larry for his more than 50 years in the news business” said Wienges. “He has grac
ed our homes night after night with an enormous number of public figures on a remarkable range of topics. In his 25 years at CNN he helped build an audience for cable news and hosted more than a few history making broadcasts. We are honored

to pay tribute to him tonight.”
