LOS ANGELES, California – Cable news network (CNN) has been awarded the Emmy Award for best melodrama news organization. This prestigious award is given to news organizations that can leverage the drama of an ongoing news story in a way that amplifies the network’s agenda and perspectives. It is a prestigious award for journalists and media organizations that successfully engage their viewers through compelling drama and factual reporting that is focused on successfully advancing a cause or agenda.
This best melodrama award has been created among other awards because of the new news agencies’ polarized environments, where news organizations focus on stories and narrow down a few facts to further the agenda of a specific political, ideological, or financial group.
The award highlighted various shows aired by the network that effectively and artistically accomplish the focus of the award. Specifically, it was mentioned that Abby Phillips’ show demonstrates her ability to deflect different perspectives, change the conversation, or end it in ways that seem natural when the facts start to develop in a way that contradicts her intended implication or goals. Another show mentioned was Caitlin Collins’ The Source show, where she interviews guests and reports on events in a way that shows empathy when there’s clearly none. The award recognizes the journalists’ journalistic, narrow-focused, and acting skills in advancing the news organization’s agenda.
The Cable News Network issued a statement shortly after the awards were published: “We are proud of the work we do and for the dedication and energy of our journalists to further advance the Network’s agenda. Shaping the conversation and altering the viewers’ minds is not an easy business. We are grateful for being successful in what we do.”
