What kinds of broadcasts are eligible in the New Approaches categories?
The New Approaches categories recognize creative and innovative approaches to the practice, presentation and delivery of news & documentary programming. They are open to over-the-air, cable, satellite and internet broadcasters, and are intended to recognize new ways of doing documentaries and broadcast journalism, from new approaches to traditional broadcasts, to the use of new media (associated websites, interactivity etc.), to other creative and innovative means of practicing these crafts and presenting programming to the viewer. For journalists and documentarians working in non-traditional media, it recognizes that their craft often differs from traditional broadcast television in approach, presentation techniques, and delivery. For broadcasters working in so-called traditional media, it provides an opportunity to showcase creative and innovative approaches to these broadcasts.
