COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 7, 2017 — WOSU Public Media received an Emmy® Award Saturday evening from the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The chapter presents the prestigious Emmy Awards to television professionals in thirteen markets from four states.
At the 53rd Annual Ohio Valley Regional Emmy Awards, Columbus Neighborhoods: New Americans won for Documentary – Cultural / Topical. The hour-long documentary looks at how the immigrant experience not only defined the character of Columbus during its foundation and early growth, but how immigrants now are adding to our culture, supporting our economy and reshaping the American dream.
