\n\tABC News<\/a> and National Geographic are among the top winners at night one of the 2026 News & Documentary Emmy\u00a0Awards\u00a0on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen the revolutionary generation put pen to parchment 250 years ago, they chose to align themselves to a vision of public freedom reinforced a decade later by the First Amendment. Generations of writers, publishers and broadcasters have rightly joined together to push back ever since,\u201d Adam Sharp, president and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts & Science<\/a>s, said in a statement. \u201cJournalists are torchbearers for the public right to know and to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n
