Pro TV News Romania Wins First News Emmy Ever For Eastern Europe
Pro TV News was at its second International Emmy nomination, competing against Brazil’s Tv Globo with "Journal Nacional - TAM Accident", Al Jazeera English of Qatar with "Al Jazeera English Kuala Lumpur News Hour - Popular Uprising in Myanmar & Military Crackdown" and ITV News produced by ITN for ITV 1 of the U.K., with "ITV News - Zimbabwe - The Tyranny and the Tragedy".
In 2007, Pro TV News earned a nomination for “Tibetans at Chinese Borders" by cameraman Sergiu Matei.
Launched on June 1, 2007, the campaign “Any Idea of What Your Kid is Doing Right Now?” raised awareness on children whose parents had left the country work abroad. Left alone and ignored by authorities, children go silently through dramas, depicted by reporters Paula Herlo and Cosmin Stan and cameraman Sergiu Matei.
The International Emmys were presented to the winners by Bruce L. Paisner, President & CEO of The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in New York City on September 22, 2008.
