NATIONAL TELEVISION ACADEMY ANNOUNCES NOMINATIONS FOR EMMY AWARDS FOR BUSINESS & FINANCIAL REPORTING

Wall Street Journal’s Paul Steiger to Receive
Lifetime Achievement Award

New York, N.Y. – October 31, 2006 – The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences today announced the nominees for the 4th Annual Emmy® Awards for Business & Financial Reporting.  The awards will be presented on Thursday, December 7 in a ceremony, to be held at the Rainbow Room in New York City and sponsored by Condé Nast Portfolio, a new business magazine that is launching in spring 2007. 

The Emmy Awards for Business & Financial Reporting recognize outstanding achievement in business & financial reporting telecast from July 1, 2005 thru June 30, 2006.  A total of 33 nominations in seven categories were announced today.

At the ceremony, the National Television Academy will present its Lifetime Achievement Award in Business & Financial Reporting to Paul Steiger, Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal, overseeing U.S. and international print and online editions, and Vice President of Dow Jones & Company.

“The importance of economic journalism became paramount to consumers over the past year,” said Peter Price, President/CEO, National Television Academy, “as we strove to understand skyrocketing gas prices, the real estate downturn, the ups and downs of the stock market, and a myriad of financial issues.  This year’s entries demonstrated the real value of business and financial reporting to the consumer, and the nominees represent the best of an excellent body of work.”

“In addition to the fine journalism achieved by the nominees,” said Bill Small, Chairman of News & Documentaries for the National Television Academy, “we are proud to recognize the high journalistic standards set by our Lifetime Achievement honoree Paul Steiger in shaping the business and financial reporting of The Wall Street Journal.”

A complete list of nominees for the 4th Annual Emmy Awards for Business & Financial Reporting is available on the National Television Academy’s website, www.emmyonline.tv.
