Sky News Nominated for International Emmy for Myanmar Coverage

Sky News has received a nomination for an International Emmy Award for its compelling coverage of the ongoing civil war in Myanmar. Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team undertook a month-long undercover mission, embedding themselves with the secretive resistance movement. Their reporting highlighted the extraordinary efforts of medics working in a clandestine jungle hospital, which serves as the last remaining facility of its kind, and uncovered significant evidence of war crimes occurring in the conflict. The documentary, titled "The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar," is nominated in the current affairs category of the prestigious awards. The civil war in Myanmar erupted following a military coup in February 2021, which led to widespread protests that were met with severe repression. The conflict has pitted the military junta against various ethnic militias and armed groups, resulting in a humanitarian crisis. In addition to Sky News, other nominees in the current affairs category include Brazil's GloboNews, the BBC's "India Eye," and the Israeli program "Uvda." Sky News previously won an International Emmy Award for its coverage of the Ukraine War, showcasing its commitment to impactful journalism in conflict zones. The International Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in New York City on September 25, where the winners will be announced, celebrating excellence in global television programming.
