Nominations for the 30th Annual News and Documentary Emmy® Awards were announced earlier this week by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).  The News & Documentary Emmy® Awards will be presented on Monday, September 21 at a ceremony at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, located in the Time Warner Center in New York City.

PBS leads the pack for the 30th annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards, dominating the field with 41 nominations.

CBS is second with 23 noms, followed by ABC and HBO/Cinemax (13 each), National Geographic (12) and NBC (10).

The hauls for cable news networks CNN and MSNBC are in the single digits, eight and two, respectively. (Fox News doesn’t submit its programs for News Emmys, claiming bias against the conservative network on the part of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ members.)

This year’s Lifetime Achievement honoree is Barbara Walters and CNN Productions-the documentary unit of CNN-will receive the President’s Award for the network’s longstanding commitment to long form documentaries.
