Sky News wins five awards at New York Festivals
Sky News’ coverage of ‘The Fall of Baghdad’ in April 2003 has won a Silver Medal in the ‘Coverage of Breaking News (longform)’ category at the New York Festivals.
The coverage saw David Chater broadcast the first live reports from the streets of Baghdad, using technology that had been smuggled in to the Iraqi capital months earlier.
The channel also picked up two Bronze medals. Sky News’ London Correspondent David Bowden was awarded a Bronze Medal in the ‘Best News Reporter/Correspondent’ category. David was embedded with the Royal Marines during the Iraq War and his coverage of the battle of Umm Qasr featured the first live broadcast of prolonged battlefield scenes. Sky News’ coverage of the SARS epidemic, fronted by Asia Correspondent Richard Bestic, won a Bronze medal in the ‘Coverage of on-going News Story’ category. Sky News’ South Africa Correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team were also awarded a Finalist Certificate for their coverage of Liberia in the same category.
Foreign Affairs Correspondent Tim Marshall was awarded a Finalist Certificate in the ‘Best News Documentary/Special’ category for his half-hour documentary ‘The Desert Kingdom’, which featured exclusive access to the Crown Prince Abdullah, his palaces and an insight into modern Saudi Arabia.
The International Film and Video and Television Programming and Promotions Awards were announced in New York on February 3 2004. There were over 200 entries from 14 countries in the News categories of the competition.
