IP Democracy: Big Awards for Little Screens...Emmys for Non-TV Content

The New York Times has a scoop…the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will announce next week the creation of a new Emmy award category — best content created for computers, cellphones and other hand-held devices. The award will premiere in only one category, sports, but will expand to other genres such as news and documentary, business and financial reporting and daytime television.

But don’t look for the dramatic “envelope please” presentation on the annual national broadcast of the Emmy awards. That show and those awards are managed by a sister organization and the non-TV awards won’t be part of that awards presentation.
