Reuters multi-media show nominated for Emmy

Times of Crisis, a multi-media narrative on the global impact of the financial crisis in the year following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, is up for an award for new approaches to news and documentary programming: current news coverage. Launched in September 2009, it was produced by the same team that was behind Bearing Witness about the war in Iraq which was nominated for an  Emmy award last year.

Winners are due to be announced at a presentation ceremony in New York on 27 September.

Editor-in-chief David Schlesinger won a lifetime achievement Emmy in 2008.
