Editorial Overview
From the executive suite to the editing bay, emmy® goes behind the scenes of the television industry to cover the people who make TV happen.
The official publication of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, emmy® draws its editorial content from the expertise of the more than 18,000 members who work in all aspects of television. They range from corporate CEOs to stunt performers; from producers and directors to editors and cinematographers; from stars to the makeup and costume artists who prepare them for the cameras.
Emmy’s Television Academy affiliation gives it a unique perspective to explore the latest industry trends and to focus on the people involved in them. And emmy® is the only magazine that sends each of its seven annual issues directly to everyone eligible to vote for TV’s most prestigious award.
While other publications focus on TV celebrities, emmy® covers not only the stars, but also the achievements of artists, crafts experts and businesspeople who work behind the cameras. It also explores the future of television, reporting on the latest tools and technological advances.
Emmy’s mission is the same as the Academy’s: to promote creativity, diversity, innovation and excellence through recognition, education and leadership in the advancement of the telecommunications arts and sciences. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in television.
Recent Awards
In 2013, emmy® received two Maggie Awards from the Western Publications Association, including Best Overall Trade Publication. In all, emmy® has collected more than thirty Maggies for excellence over the past 10 years.
