2024 Upcoming Emmys: Brava, More Than Well Deserved To Legendary Journalist Jane Pauley Tapped for Lifetime Achievement Award.
"The Emmy-winning TV anchor Jane Pauley and the Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney will receive lifetime achievement awards at the 45th annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday.
Pauley will be feted at the News ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 25, while Gibney will be honored at the Documentary ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 26. Both gatherings will take place at the Palladium Times Square in New York City and will be livestreamed on NATAS’s viewing platform.
“We are honored to pay tribute to these two revered icons of our industry,” NATAS president and CEO Adam Sharp said in a statement. “Jane Pauley and Alex Gibney continue to reach viewers while at the same time opening doors for those coming behind them. This honor is not only about impressive longevity in a competitive space, but also the broad and sweeping impact each has had on the business, their audiences, and the greater community. NATAS is proud to celebrate their enduring dedication to television excellence.”
Pauley, 73, declared, “I am so grateful for this recognition. It is the honor of a lifetime. My career has been a shared experience made possible by partnerships with the best in journalism and collaborations with its most inventive minds. Change and opportunity have been the constants. My career has not been a steady ascent but a winding path leading to my crowning achievement as host of CBS News Sunday Morning.”
Added Gibney, 70: “I am grateful, humbled and deeply honored by this award. While it has my name on it, it is also a powerful recognition of the work of my collaborators over the years, including my producers, cinematographers and, most especially, editors. It reminds me of that great two-word poem, invented on the spot, at a speech at Harvard, by Muhammed Ali: ‘Me, We.’”" - Hollywoodreporter.com
