The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced that the 47th Annual Sports Emmy Awards and the 47th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards will stream live on YouTube, with YouTube celebrating the ceremonies as the Presenting Sponsor.

Partnering with YouTube at this level for the first time allows us to put these ceremonies directly into the environment where so much of today's journalism and storytelling already lives, says Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS. The work we're honoring isn't confined to traditional platforms anymore, and neither is the audience.

The most vital and compelling journalism today is happening on YouTube, driven by both established newsrooms and a new generation of independent voices, adds Brandon Feldman, Director of News, Civics & Podcast Partnerships. We are excited to partner with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to honor these storytellers and celebrate the evolving news landscape.
