Bisan Owda, 25 Year Old, Honoured With Edward R. Murrow For Her Documentary And Emmy debates!

In addition, Bisan Owda’s show took home the Edward R. Murrow Award for News Series and the Peabody Award in the News category.

On the other hand, an open letter demanding the retraction of the Emmy nomination was issued by the pro-Israel charity group Creative Community for Peace and signed by 150 members of the industry.

Bisan Owda was accused by the Creative Community for Peace of being associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an organisation that is classified as a terrorist group in the US, EU, and Japan.

Notable personalities such as Rick Rosen, Haim Saban, Micael Rotenberg, Sherry Lansing, Debra Messing, and others signed the letter cancelling their nomination to the Emmys, specifically the NATAS (The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences).

The letter swiftly gained widespread attention online, with thousands of people criticising CCFP’s actions against Bisan Owda and endorsing her efforts during the Israel-Hamas conflict.

However, in response to the letter, NATAS CEO Adam Sharp stated that there is no proof that Owda was involved in the PFLP, hence there is no justification for withdrawing her nomination.

“The content submitted for award consideration was consistent with both NATAS policies and competition rules,” he stated. Therefore, NATAS has not discovered any justification for overturning the independent journalists’ editorial assessment of the information.
