INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES
President’s Report As I complete a third term as President of the Academy, it is rewarding to look back and see how far we have come and challenging to think about the future, with so much left to do. The International Academy increasingly has become a significant presence in the international television community. We are recognized for the International Emmys, of course, but also for the panels, forums and Academy Days we and our partners present around the world. And that world changes every year, as television, and all the related media, become stronger and more original. It has been a particular pleasure for me to watch old and new friends from countries as diverse as Brazil, China, India and Russia join their colleagues from Western Europe, North America and Australia at our meetings and, with increasing frequency, on our stage. The International Academy is open to all who work in our industry and have an interest in what goes on beyond the borders of the U.S. Our participants include not only heads of state and leaders of powerful media conglomerates, but also producers, executives and new media professionals from over 60 countries.
hen we began the year 2009, we were deeply concerned, as were most people around the globe, about the state of the economy and how that might negatively affect our activities and our finances. I am pleased to report, as the year draws to a close, that the Academy remains in excellent shape both programmatically and financially. Fittingly enough, our March board meeting featured a panel on the economy moderated by Josh Steiner, the new co-President of Quadrangle Group. Josh and his panelists presented a picture of what would happen over the rest of the year, and it has turned out to be remarkably accurate. In September, we presented a panel on news gathering in a troubled world which featured our nominees for the International News Emmy and was moderated by Neal Shapiro, the President and CEO of WNET.ORG in New York and a director of the Academy. During the year, we sponsored a special program for our members at CES and we presented a well attended panel on “Competing in the Digital Space” at NATPE. Meanwhile, interest in The International Emmy Awards continues to build with 20 member companies hosting semi-final rounds of judging. This year, we had 788 entries from 48 countries for our International Emmys. One concession we made to the economic situation was to defer consideration of the next International Academy Day. 4
This innovative program, which began five years ago with an International Academy Day in Mexico City, has since led to popular and very well attended Academy Days in Beijing and Rio de Janeiro. But we understood that our members’ travel budgets this year were severely restricted, and we thought it would be best to wait to hold the next Academy Day until the economy improves a bit. Our staff is now scouting several locations for an Academy Day in late 2010 or early 2011. As noted before, and unlike many other non-profit organizations, the Academy’s finances are in good shape despite the economic climate. We owe this encouraging result to our directors and members, of course, and also to our par tners who give us both programmatic and financial help and whose key personnel are valued and trusted counselors to me. I par ticularly want to thank Phoenix Satellite Television and Liu Changle; TV Globo and Roberto Irineu Marinho and Amauri Soares; Microsoft and Blair Westlake; Dori Media and Nadav Palti; HBO and Simon Sutton; and Reed MIDEM and Paul Zilk. During the year, and after many years of faithful service to our organization, Donald Taffner, Sr. resigned as Secretary, although he remains on the Executive Committee. To my delight, Simon Sutton agreed to serve as Secretary, and Kevin Beggs of Lionsgate joined the Executive Committee. Perhaps the greatest credit for steering our organization through these troubled times goes to our key staff personnel, International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010
EMMY_1109_5rev Page 2 11/10/09 6:06 PM
who work tirelessly to promote the interest and the aspirations of the International Academy. In particular, Camille Bidermann-Roizen, our Senior Vice President and Executive Director throughout my time as President, manages to coordinate superbly the slightly opposed tasks of promoting the Academy’s mission and programs around the world while at the same time keeping our finances under control. She is a master at this balancing act. Camille and her talented, loyal staff are essential to the success of our organization, and we all thank them. I also want to express my thanks to my long-time friend, Fred Cohen, who is Chairman of the Academy and to our col-
leagues, John Shaffner and Alan Perris at the Television Academy in Los Angeles, and Herb Granath at the National Television Academy in New York. I also want to thank Frank A. Bennack, Jr., the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hearst Corporation for his support of the International Academy and of my role in it. Frank believes deeply in the importance of organizations like ours, and he puts his beliefs to work every day. I thank him for his encouragement and support. When we announced that Blair Westlake of Microsoft would be the Chairman of this year’s Gala, I said,“As a senior executive at Microsoft, Blair is on the front line of the revolution taking place in our industry.We welcome him as chair of this year’s Gala, both as a long-time friend and supporter of the International Academy, and as a sign of the Academy’s broadening mandate in our changing media world.” It is now our responsibility and our mission to be sure that the International Academy lives up to this mandate. In such a complex world, it will indeed be a challenge. But as everything else with the International Academy, above all it will be a lot of fun.

INTERNATIONAL EMMY FOUNDERS AWARD
Sir David Frost The International Emmy Founders Award is presented to Sir David Frost, one of the preeminent television figures of the 20th century—not to mention the 21st! Sir David’s interviews with President Richard Nixon were immortalized in last year’s Oscar-nominated movie Frost/Nixon.

His ground-breaking satirical show That Was The Week That Was and its follow-up, The Frost Report, ser ved as a launch pad for many modern British comics (including most of the cast of Monty Python’s Flying Circus) and propelled Frost into the limelight. By the end of the 1960s he was producing shows in England and the U.S., and enjoying as much celebrity as those he was inter viewing on TV. Sir David received the Golden Rose of Montreux for The Frost Report in 1967 and two U.S. Emmy Awards for The David Frost Show in 1970 and 1971.

GALA CHAIR
Blair Westlake Corporate VP, Microsoft’s Media & Entertainment Group What does being the 2009 Gala Chair mean to you? For me, the honor of being Gala Chair is that I can be a par t of recognizing a field that impacts lives across the globe.The International Academy is instrumental in inspiring global news and entertainment that touches audiences worldwide. It’s also an honor to be par t of the tradition of the Academy, as so many of the people who have held this position before are people I admire.This year’s world-class list of presenters includes names like former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and the groundbreaking work of this year’s nominees underscore the Academy’s impor tance.
phones, for example, are reaching people millions who never owned a television. We’ve been able to take this approach and make many business models work in a way that consumers enjoy, but there are other models—particularly advertising-supported models—that can be more challenging to implement. The next pioneers will be the ones who can adapt traditional business models to bring content to people across the globe in new ways.
Can you tell us about Microsoft’s most recent initiatives with broadcasters and content creators around the world? With such amazing content being produced, Microsoft is always working on new technologies and partnerships to bring news and entertainment even closer to people worldwide. We recently closed agreements with BSkyB in the U.K. and Canal+ Group in France to bring custom regional content from these providers to Xbox LIVE customers in Europe. The Sky agreement was an industry-first by delivering live TV on Xbox 360. We also recently announced that the Zune video library will be coming to 17 international markets. Yet Microsoft has an international reach that hasn’t been fully tapped on behalf of our international broadcaster and content partners, even with the recent announcements. Xbox is sold in 30 countries in the world, and Windows phones in over 50. You will see Microsoft develop and expand par tnerships to reach even more people worldwide in new and flexible ways. What do you think will be the biggest challenges for our industry in the coming years? There is a tremendous amount of change occurring in the media and entertainment industry right now, and new technologies have presented us challenges and opportunities. At Microsoft, we see our role as providing technology that delivers content to previously underserved audiences, and we think this type of oppor tunity is enormous for others as well. Mobile 8

Alice, a Brazilian program produced by HBO Latin America, allows the audience to enter the main character’s world using social networks like MSN, blogs and chat rooms
Executives from Digital Media Strategies, Dori Media Group, HBO Latin America Networks and Telemundo discussed their digital strategies and presented examples of successful programs distributed via mobile and Internet as the burgeoning world of multiplatform distribution is facing major challenges, such as monetization and scale. Academy Member Catherine Warren, President of consulting firm FanTrust Entertainment Strategies, moderated the panel and launched the discussion by commenting that digital revenue is expected to reach $152 billion by 2011 and by 2020, 80 percent of all media consumed will be digital.“There’s a lot of sex appeal when talking about cross-platform but there are several challenges, including the tremendous amount of operational savvy required to pull these things off. Mobile is even slower to develop,” added Janet Balis, President and Founder of Digital Media Strategies. 26

This program gives the opportunity to young viewers to talk directly with music bands or solo artists for 45 minutes at a time. HBO Latin America Group’s Fernando Del Granado presented the example of original production Alice in Brazil, which allows the audience to enter the main character’s world by accessing a behind-the-scenes view, beyond the television set.The program used Alice, the main character, and social networks like MSN and others through her own blog and chat room. Dori Media CEO Nadav Palti used Amanda O as an example of producing directly for the Internet which was monetized by syndication. Dori Media recently launched novebox.com, a website specifically dedicated to telenovelas and their fans. The Panel concluded with a Q&A.
Speaking about sponsorship of digital content, she added, “I think the tolerance of putting a named brand into an experience, particularly digital media in the United States, is definitely waning, particularly at the moment when the focus is on ROI.” Balis claimed her clients are looking at more integrated solutions where brands are built into story lines. The comments came as executives compared strategies to keep ahead of the digital curve. Peter Blacker, EVP of Digital Media and Emerging Businesses at Telemundo, used the example of Hot Webcam Action, a project from Hispanic youth cable network mun2, to demonstrate a way the company has overcome rights issues. 28

2009 MARCH BOARD MEETING PANEL
Navigating the TV Business in Troubled Economic Times March 13, New York City Moderator: Joshua Steiner (Co-President & Managing Principal, Quadrangle Group LLC) Panelists: Gary Ginsberg (Executive Vice President of Global Marketing & Corporate Affairs, News Corporation), Johnathan Knee (Senior Managing Director, Evercore) STEINER: So I want to start with something specific which is,you usually talk about what’s happening in the media world and you usually talk about it in the abstract and people go from panels and sit and pontificate about the future of online video. I find it a little bit more interesting to talk about what would you actually like to do with your career? So let me start with a question which is:if you had to be the CEO of Hulu, or Netflix, which started off in the DVD business and is now moving aggressively into online, or CBS, which obviously has a big broadcasting business (radio, outdoor, etc.), which job would you pick and why would you pick it? And talk both about the strategic positioning of that business, but you can’t think about it outside the context of evaluation because knowing these guys, they would be incredibly avaricious about the options they’d want and where those options were struck. So, talk about it both in terms of the operations, the strategic positioning, but also the evaluation of the business. And why don’t we start with you, Jonathan? KNEE: Well, you know, that actually was on the list of questions and the first thing that jumped out at me is that the question is about where would you rather be the CEO. It was not,“Where would you rather be an investor? Where do you
think there’s going to be more value created?” And it struck me because one of the things that is a little bit weird about the media business vis-à-vis other industries in general is the extent to which there is a complete disconnect between the discussion about the businesses and the discussion about how value is created. And so the question often is,“Where would it be cool or fun to work?” and the fact that these businesses have underperformed the market for as long as they have does not mean they were not wonderful places to be CEOs for all of that period of time. It was a great party. So, I want to take the literal question, which is,“Where would I rather be the CEO?” So, it’s interesting.These are three very distinct options: One of them, you’re working for an elderly, controlling shareholder, who I think spends most of his time not at the office, so that’s good and bad. So there’s a board, but really, at the end of the day you’re probably free, but you’re subject to some very serious constraints. One is, you’re working for two big corporate bureaucracies with additionally, I believe, some private equity in the mix as well that puts some constraints on…it’s small, but it is what it is. So, you’re essentially working for two guys, and you know, there’s a lot of precedent for that, so you’d want to go around and talk to Larry Aidem, who for years ran Sundance.And there are advantages to that because no one can make a decision because everyone’s in charge and no one’s in charge, so you might say that that could work. And the third one is, you’ve just got a board and it’s a public company. So, that’s one thing that I would spend a lot of time thinking about.
Moderator Joshua Steiner, with Panelists Gary Ginsberg and Jonathan Knee
International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010
STEINER: But let’s just talk about the business model. Let me go to Gary because Jonathan is obviously dodging the question.Which business model do you like? KNEE: CBS. CBS is my vote. GINSBERG: Okay, I think you can clearly rule out CBS right now. When Sumner [Redstone] divided those two businesses, I don’t think he realized what he was doing, which is essentially creating a toxic bank in a good bank. And he essentially took all of his toxic assets and put them under one roof. 31
EMMY_1109_32 Page 2 11/6/09 6:24 PM
Evercore’s Jonathan Knee
STEINER: So let’s just be clear: the Fox business is toxic? GINSBERG: No no, what I’m saying is, right now in this environment, anything that’s advertising based is suffering obviously quite dramatically. So, when you have one company that is based primarily on broadcast revenue and local station revenue as well as radio revenue, and then as a kicker, book revenue, it’s not a great company to be in right now. And the reason why it’s not toxic for us is that we can counterbalance it with assets that are fast-growing, including cable, satellite, internet—things that can still grow in an economy like this. So, I think CBS, for at least the near term—as long as you can’t see an advertising recovery in the near term— it’s obviously not a company that you want to come into unless you say to yourself,“There’s not a lot of downside.” At $2.5 billion of market cap,the stock price at $4.00,you could argue it’s a pretty good time to come in there because if you get an advertising recovery, you can certainly grow the television revenue substantially from where it is today; radio, I think you can get some growth from;and book publishing is,I think,more of a question mark.Hulu, I think,is a really interesting business model.It’s actually grown spectacularly. It’s the second most visited video website today behind only YouTube. KNEE: So what’s the revenue of that again? Just offhand? GINSBERG: We don’t break it out. STEINER:Very good plan. GINSBERG: But what’s interesting is that clearly users love it. Now, do our cable and television executives love it? Well that’s, I think, yet to be decided because as more and more viewers migrate to Hulu, it obviously will have an impact on our ratings. But for now, we look at it as a great experience. Clearly the users like it. There is a simplicity to its use; it’s a very clean site. Advertisers actually do like it.We are generating advertising revenue, we’ll be able to generate more advertising revenue as we build out the social networking side of the business—which we’ve just announced—so that we can actually hyper-target users. 32
STEINER: So, you want to be CEO of a 50-revenue fast-growing business? GINSBERG: Well look, I think that there could be mile there. I think it’s yet to be decided. Where I was going is, Netflix right now is actually, I think, a really solid business. I mean, if you look at their stock, it’s at a 52 week high, it’s got a market cap that’s equal to slightly below CBS, which is pretty remarkable. It has ease of use: you know, for $9.99 I can get my DVD, I can return it whenever I want and not worry about late fees. We’re not giving them A-list titles yet; we tend to give them much older, shelf titles than some of our competitors. But for now, I think it’s a very sustainable business model. I think the risk for Netflix is that if we start to play around with the windows and the VOD window gets shrunk and we go day and date, in some cases with our theatrical releases, then the ease of use really goes out the window and you’re much more apt to just turn on your television set and do a VOD. STEINER: So, when I’m describing the industry for you, it’s an industry which is dominated by a few small players and each market has incredible market share, huge advertising revenue, great brand loyalty. And then suddenly, very diminishing advertising revenues. It’s a newspaper industry, but am I also describing the broadcast television industry? Because you go through it and you say to yourself,“Okay, what did the newspaper industry do?”They said,“Oh I’ve got a good idea. Internet’s coming, we’ll put our content up on the web.” And if you’d been at this panel six years ago and you’d gotten the CEO of one of the leading newspaper companies, he’d say, “Look we’ve got this great product. We’re putting it on the web. It’s the second-fastest growing. I’ll tell you one thing: the users love it.They love it.And I don’t know if there’s a revenue model in there or not—sound a little familiar?—but they love it.” And he had a lot of conviction, or she had a lot of conviction, and today his or her business model is entirely threatened. So Jonathan, listen to Gary talk about Hulu: does this feel like déjà vu all over again? And if you just describe exactly what happened in the newspaper industry? KNEE: Look, so if you think about Netflix in the middle, CBS on the one end, and Hulu on the other—in terms of old-fashioned moving towards newfangled—he wants to be CEO of the hot growth business and I want to be the CEO of the older business. And Netflix is interesting, because the part of Netflix that makes money is very old-fashioned.Why they’ve got competitive advantage in economies of scale and various entry is that they’ve got big fixed costs associated with 60 facilities that they do incredibly well, and they are distributing DVDs. And they have this new product— GINSBERG: Yeah, the streaming. International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

EMMY_1109_34 Page 1 11/5/09 4:40 PM
EMMY_1109_35 Page 3 11/6/09 6:24 PM
KNEE: Absolutely. It’s quite similar and the barriers are going down: electronic is the friend of the user, not the friend of the business. But there is a difference.There is a significant difference between a monopoly and an oligopoly, because the key to a monopoly is just the fixed costs and the other barriers that are keeping you as a monopoly.The key to an oligopoly is a regime of informal and highly legal cooperation amongst them. And in the U.S. it’s quite interesting because the fact is media moguls in general, they don’t get along too well; it’s very hard to get them to cooperate. But in the broadcasting industry, for years, the reason why it has worked so well is a bunch of structural mechanisms from the upfront going down a long list where they have essentially cooperated. And indeed the brilliance of the mechanism by which Rupert entered with Fox was to signal loud and clear he was going to play by the rules. He didn’t price insanely, he didn’t bid away stars… STEINER: Well he bid away sports in a big way. KNEE: That was later.That was later and that was stupid. People think that’s what was brilliant; it destroyed the business. But I think in terms of entering, he entered by setting off a flare saying,“Do not worry. I’m going to hire Joan Rivers, I’m going to do Studs and Married with Children;I’m going to do stuff you don’t want.I’m going to charge exactly 20 percent less than rate card,which is not…you don’t need to worry about me.” That regime of cooperation is falling apart and the thing that accelerated it falling apart was indeed Rupert getting tired of being second tier and going ahead and everything from sports to…
News Corporation’s Gary Ginsberg
KNEE: —this exciting new product, which will be a mediocre business because they have nothing special there, and everybody knows that. Just like Hulu has nothing special except who their shareholders are.That is, the value is going to accrue to the person who’s got the stuff that’s valuable, right? And if Hulu was independent and you did a deal with them and you said it was an exclusive deal, and maybe the right answer is to cooperate, and indeed the business models that have worked well, where does the competitive advantage come from? What are the barriers to entry? In newspapers…there’s something quite different between broadcasting and newspapers,and again this is a country by country thing because of the structure of the market…but in the U.S.,newspapers have tended to be natural monopolies with high fixed costs in the local markets.And it’s the printing and distribution infrastructure that because of those fixed costs, you basically couldn’t have a second guy and that’s why you can have 30-40 percent margins. Now people are saying,“the sky is falling”, which is right…
STEINER: You want to look? The good news is you own both newspapers and television. GINSBERG: Right. Well before we write the obituary of television, I think let’s look at the bright side of television. First of all, there’s still no better way to create and drive a brand than television. And I think for the next 10 to 20 years, live sports and live news,premiere events like the Super Bowl, like the Oscars, like American Idol (whether it’s the finale or even the final 13), will still command a much bigger share of audience than any other medium in the marketplace today. And so, as long as an advertiser has a way to aggregate eyeballs and get a share of market that’s meaningful, and by that I’m talking about, let’s say a 20 share or more, which television can still do on good nights—particularly for Fox with Idol— it’s still the only way to move product and advertisers are going to appreciate that and continue to pay us a lot of money. Now, on the local level, I think it’s really a challenge right now, a downturn, and we really have to rescale the business because the cost structure in our business was tailored to a business that was earning two and a half, three times what we’re going to likely earn today in a recessionary environment. So what we’re doing is we’re remodeling the local television business and we’re remodeling it for the next 10 years so that we can survive economic downturns like we’re experiencing now. So what are we doing? We’re sharing costs like we’ve never done before.Where we have duopolies—
“There’s still no better way to create and drive a brand than television.” —Gary Ginsberg
STEINER: That’s exactly what I’m saying. But John, that’s exactly like the broadcasters.You’ve got local oligopolies, which had 40-50 percent margins, right? And very similar market dynamics, so explain to me why, with Hulu, it isn’t doing exactly the same thing that online newspaper properties did to the newspaper industry? International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

model on the web? You know we all ran away from the paid model a few years ago when it appeared that no one would pay for anything. Do we go back to it? I think it’s an open question. I think The New York Times is certainly looking at it now and I think they have to because they’ve got $200 million in fixed costs for their journalists, and they’re not getting any revenue. Can you charge a fixed rate of $2.00-$3.00 a month for their 20 million uniques? It’s a lot of money.
Asian Food Network’s Maria Brown and David Parker
we have channels 5 and 9 in New York—we’ve had two newscasts going at the exact same time since we got the second station. Why did we do that? Does it make sense? It’s not rational, so we just started, for example, running the same sportscast on the two channels.We’re sharing helicopters now with our competitors.Why do we need four choppers in the air covering the FDR gridlock? So we’re going to rescale it.We may not earn the record numbers that we were earning two years ago, but it’ll continue to be a sustainable business model. With our 25 stations now, you know we’ll earn hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s still a good business and if advertising returns in any way, given our rescaling, we’re going to grow our margins.With newspapers, it’s a problem and we are very hard at work trying to remodel right now: do we go to a paid
STEINER: So when people look back, 20 to 30 years from now, and they say, “Let’s just think about this: we have the largest cable company controlled by the Roberts family; we have News Corp. which is controlled by the Murdoch family; we have Viacom and CBS which is controlled by Sumner Redstone.” You go through the list, alright? And you have the Mays’s controlling Clear Channel.You have these huge media companies that are controlled either entirely economically or by dual class voting shares—Hearst Trust controlling these things. Are people going to look back and say, “Wow. But for those families, these people never would have invested and never would have done the things they needed to do for longterm health because they would have been so consumed with quarterly earnings that they never would have done the right investments?”—that would be Gary’s answer. Or,“Have these guys been running these things as vanity projects buying, you know, dying industries like the newspaper business, in order to satisfy some ambition which is inconsistent with their fiduciary options, I mean their responsibilities?”And whether that’s your belief or not Jonathan, why don’t you take that position and
EMMY_1109_37_ Page 1 11/6/09 5:45 PM
EMMY_1109_38 Page 1 11/5/09 4:41 PM
EMMY_1109_39 Page 5 11/6/09 6:25 PM
then Gary can describe to us why in fact, but for family ownership, we’d be in a lot worse shape today. KNEE: Well actually, if you think about the newspaper example that’s just around this issue, there’s sort of another slightly ephemeral constituency which is the journalistic world which kind of from the outside has said, you know,“This is important.This is a public trust. This is something special. This is something that should be treated differently”, which is a little bit inconsistent with the sorts of things that the lawyer at the board meeting says to the directors that they’re supposed to be thinking about.
port”? I would feel safer if it was being controlled in the corporate headquarters in suburban D.C. rather than it being controlled by a local family who is the same country club member of the person who’s likely to try to put that sort of pressure on it. Maybe, maybe not, but it’s not obvious and again, the facts on the ground as to who has been willing to invest, the facts on the ground as to who has been more protective, you know it’s not clear. Some of the best where clearly families, but some of the absolute worst were clearly families in situations exactly like what I’ve just described. GINSBERG: Okay look, I think you can point to examples that are both good and bad for family ownership of media companies. I think in the case of News Corp., which I’m obviously most familiar with, I think it has served the shareholders very well over the years. Maybe not at this particular moment, but over time, I think but for the fact that we had a 40 percent owner of our voting shares and an 18-percent equity interest, we never would have started something like the Fox News channel because the ramp up to profitability was so far out that shareholders just would never have tolerated it. Likewise, don’t much tolerate the Wall Street Journal, but I think that when you have an owner like Rupert Murdoch, he’s willing to take long-term bets based on a very strongly held conviction that it will pay off over the long-term.And frankly, he doesn’t care about guys who tell him that he’s got to drive quarterly earnings. He doesn’t care about these 25-year-old
“Electronic is the friend of the user, not the business.” —Jonathan Knee
STEINER: So putting sports in the Wall Street Journal,that’s Rupert’s fiduciary duty? I mean, not just public-service duty? KNEE: But let’s look at, in fact, of all of those families and of all the newspaper companies in the U.S., who has done the biggest investment of a new property that did not exist before, cash on the barrel? That would be one of the two or three broadly held public companies that spent a billion dollars over a decade, while it was losing money, creating USA Today.The rest of these were preexisting properties. So just as a factual matter, in terms of where investment came from, who was willing to do that, it actually wasn’t those guys. It wasn’t and for those who think it’s important and valuable to have local folks controlling the local media, when you think about it, who are you worried about calling up and saying,“Hey don’t write that op-ed or that investigative re-
EMMY_1109_40 Page 6 11/6/09 6:25 PM
analysts who tell him he has to focus on things that generate profitability on Day 1. He’s far more “big picture” and for the most part, the bets he’s made have worked. And that’s why News Corp.’s the largest media company in the world,using various metrics. So I think if you’re looking for a near-term profit, if you’re looking for quarterly growth—although we’ve given it—we’re probably not the best bet. But if you’re looking for a company that will be diversified and well-thought out and poised for long-term growth and you want a family ownership. STEINER: So if you think about the media business, it has been remarkably domestic, right? And so as we’ve been talking about, whether it’s Comcast or CBS or Viacom or Disney—Disney’s probably the best exception which is to say they export a lot of product, but they also have theme parks around the world, right? A little bit. For the most part, these are extraordinarily domestic businesses, right? And if you look over here on the other side and you say, what’s happened on the internet? Facebook, MySpace, everyone else recognized immediately that you’ve got to go international. They’ve figured out that you got to do it quickly.There are exceptions. Brazil has its own social networking site, which is better than some of the U.S. ones. But they—these media companies, these new-media companies—caught on immediately that there was an opportunity internationally, they exploited it quickly. Why is it that the traditional media companies have been so incapable of building true, domestic, indigenous businesses whereas the internet companies have done it virtually overnight and viewed it as essential to their long-term success? Jonathan? KNEE: I guess I disagree with pretty much every part of that. So let’s start with whether it’s really true about the internet and we can go kind of vertical by vertical. All the employment sites, the largest employment site in the U.K. doesn’t even exist in the U.S. to the extent that Monster does own a site somewhere else— they bought it.There were no competitive advantages; those were basically local business.Whether that’s different in social networking or not, we can talk about.We can also talk about how big that business is from a revenue point of view. But in general, the short answer is these are local businesses; that’s where the barriers to entry are. Now, News Corp. is different from the rest of these companies in that they’ve twice as much international revenue than the next big conglomerate, but they’ve followed a strategy—that on this we’ll agree—is a very smart strategy which is not an international strategy; it is a multi-local strategy, okay? They have people who run those markets.The high points and the low points of News Corp. are reflected by this, where they’ve got the joke that it was a local strategy, a local context that had nothing to do with anything they were doing elsewhere like BSkyB. It was a function of the Quadrangle’s Josh Steiner 40
structure of that market coming in there doing that,where you say, “Okay, gee it worked there. I’ll do satellite in the U.S. or I’ll do it in Asia” maybe not so much because you have to focus on it on exactly that way so if you do it that way, it can work. In general, unless you have somebody as brilliant and global as Rupert, that’s not going to be your competitive advantage: figuring out the local context in the country that’s not yours. STEINER: These are basically domestic businesses. KNEE: They’re basically local businesses. Overwhelmingly that is the case. It’s sort of like in my business—I’m in M&A—when somebody gives you a pitch book and says,“Don’t worry, Google will buy you or Microsoft will buy you.”Whenever somebody gives you a corporate pension, where’s the growth? “International, we’re going to go international.” That’s the place that they know least about have the least competitive advantages, have the least opportunity to maintain margins, and hold your wallet tight. GINSBERG: That’s 100 percent right.You’re wrong. STEINER: I asked a question! GINSBERG: I’ll just give you one example briefly, which is STAR. We bought it in the early 90s, 93. It lost money for 7 or 8 years, but the reason why we suddenly turned profitable is because a light bulb went off and said, to your point John, which is that people want local programming.They don’t want Hollywood fare. Seinfeld or a Hollywood movie isn’t going to resonate as much as a local-language TV show or a local-language film. So we decided to completely revamp the programming, and particularly in India we went to Indian programming and it just took off.And we suddenly became profitable until the recent EC declines and now we’re not so profitable, but I think to your point, whenever we go into a market, we do put a distinctly local patina on, whether it’s at SKY Italia, where we have primarily Italian executives who are making the programming decisions, or BSkyB, which is an indigenous operation which is hugely successful, or newspapers, etc. It has to be tailored to the local audience in order for it to work and that’s what we realized early on.

STEINER: I don’t want to belabor this, but I think what you’ve done is proven my point and I’m grateful to both of you. So I’ll just include though, I would say that what you’ve both said which I think is right is that there isn’t an international strategy per say; there needs to be a local strategy.What is surprising is that for the most part, the major media companies haven’t figured out how to do that, right? So they have to decide how to do it; there is a way to do it. GINSBERG: Well it’s much more costly and much more timeconsuming to actually create local businesses. STEINER: No I agree. I’m saying there is a choice to do it and they’ve chosen not to do it. Let me switch gears for sec. KNEE: And just to say, it’s not clear they are in the best position to do it. That is, if you’ve a declining but protecting industry domestically—and remember, I’m the guy that wants to be CEO of a multi-billion dollar revenue company that still has 20-30 percent margins, [Gary] wants to be the CEO of a business that loses money and has under $100 million in revenue—but if it’s declining, the question is what do you do with that cash? My answer is give it back to the shareholders, don’t invest it in countries that you don’t know a goddamn thing about, or give it to somebody who does. STEINER: Generally speaking, it’s hard to argue with “don’t do something you don’t know anything about,” but Wall Street is proving that they’re willing to do that, which is a perfect segue into the second part of our discussion, which is Wall Street. So let me ask you a very simple question and I’ll make it open-ended since I know you guys don’t deal well with complexity. Jonathan is a relationship banker, which on Wall Street talk means that he actually knows something about the industry, gets along well with people, and really doesn’t like looking at thick documents and spreadsheets. It’s a reminder that there was a Saturday Night Live skit years ago where Gerald Ford is up there and Chevy Chase is playing Gerald Ford and they say to him, “Mr. President, what do you plan to do about the budget deficit?” which as you know, has gone up to, in those days, a $100 billion, or some assuming miniscule 42
amount now. And you see Chevy Chase goes and he says,“It was my understanding that there would be no math questions.” So I promised these guys that there would be no math questions on this panel, so I’m going to make this very simple.At the time that Lehman Brothers—may it rest in peace—went out of business, let’s just imagine that that’s a 50 out of a scale of 100 of a financial crisis. Just possibly that’s the minimum. Great Depression is 100, 2007 a period of seemingly great prosperity zero—whatever we want to call it. So you’re Lehman Brothers. Where are we today? Gary you can start.Are things worse now that when Lehman Brothers went out of business, and how much closer are we to a huge crisis, or are they better today? GINSBERG: We’re about an 80, I think actually. It was bad in September and for advertising-based businesses, newspapers, and television, it’s gone from, I’d say a 50 to an 80.And it’s somewhat stabilized. I mean the only good news I can say is that some of the markets where we were seeing precipitous declines in December and January whether it was in DVD sales or in advertising at the local stations, they seem to have stabilized. Now they’re stabilizing at low levels, but they’re not getting worse. So, are we on the path to 90? I don’t think so. I think we’ll stick at 80, but it’s a pretty scary moment for all of us. I mean, as I say, all we can do right now is try to rescale our businesses and cut everything we can and hope to ride it out. Increase market share and wait for a better time, but we don’t see it yet.There’s no transparency. No one’s buying early and all the indices are, as they say, stable but down. KNEE: 80 sounds like a good number to me. I guess what I would say is that the extent to which this radical rationalization of cost structures is going to happen and continue to be happening. I mean the only thing that is really different about this recession or depression or whatever the hell it is is that productivity in that first quarter where it was happening, which is the fourth-quarter of last year, was increasing.There were lining people up from day one and shooting and cutting, and cutting and shooting—which is very unusual when GDP is going down you don’t have productivity going up, but people are doing it and doing it aggressively and doing it early. So, I think that there are a couple implications for that and how that plays out for the businesses I don’t exactly know. I think earnings are going to be better than people expect because I don’t think people expected the cutting to be this fast, this ruthless, and this relentless. But that cutting is going to flow through to a permanent state of spending that isn’t that high. GINSBERG: But the comps aren’t going to work John, for a while. I mean, in a year we’re going to keep going down until we cycle through the year. KNEE: I think relative to expectations,earnings are going to come back earlier than people expect because of the extent to which the productivity increases flow through. My fear is that even after you get some stabilization, you’re going to have a permanent unemployment rate that’s way higher than anybody imagines. International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

2009 SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING PANEL
News Nominees September 21, New York City Moderator: Neal Shapiro (President & CEO,WNET.ORG) Panelists: William Bonner (Anchorman & Editor in Chief,TV Globo), Jonah Hull (Correspondent, Al Jazeera English), Bill Neely (International Editor, ITV News), Ruslan Iarmoliuk (Special Correspondent, Inter TV Channel) SHAPIRO: There are some things all good journalism has in common, which is finding compelling stories and trying to bring something extra to the viewer. First question, anything in particular, any particular anecdote that stays with you? And how important are those stories when you tell what’s happening? HULL: It’s not possible to cover a war without covering what happens to people on the ground caught in the middle of that war. It’s not about governments, it’s not about the military. It is about ordinary people.They are the people profoundly, most profoundly affected. Georgia was no different. Georgia was a situation that evolved very, very quickly over a very manageable geographic space in order to cover. It was, of course, difficult, as it always is, to cross lines but it was easy to get from place to place on one side and see what was going on. And there were a lot
of people who were very profoundly affected by that war: ordinary people, peasants—for want of a better word, farmers, people living a very rural, poor life who lost what very little they had.And so that provided a lot of compelling material, just to get to the point, which was a particular anecdote. And that would certainly be the story of a little girl. She was seven. We were in a town called Gori, when it was bombed from the air by Russian planes.That was the first incursion into Georgia proper by the Russians. And we found her being pulled out of a crater. And she’d lost her mother and she’d lost both siblings and a grandmother and there was a father, but the father was a drunk so the father was not really available to help. And we went back a couple of weeks later and found her in a hospital with terrible burns but she’d survived and she’d found extended relatives who were going to look after her. And a year later we went back and found her again, by this time reunited with the father who was still a drunk. And that was rather depressing. So this was a little kid who had survived the worst but who had a deeply uncertain future. But that was a future that was very tied into all of the issues that were going on on the ground in that story.

SHAPIRO: Ruslan, I want to turn to you. In a story that’s shifting so much, when you tell the story day by day do you try to tell what happened that day or do you try to tell a bigger story? IARMOLIUK: It’s very difficult to be objective covering the war because you are seeing the people who are suffering [and the first thing you really want to do] is give support to them and their families… In a family we met, there were three children and a lonely mother.There was a young girl who was really afraid of the war and [it was] her dream to [own] a white dress. So what happened was after half a year the family was in a very bad condition, without money and definitely couldn’t afford [a dress, so we] bought that present for her. It’s what we could do as humans, not just journalists… For that moment she really forgot what war was. SHAPIRO: Bill, I want to turn to you on the notion that talking about emotion, you saw such horrific pictures in China and came across horrific stories. Is it difficult to communicate those stories and also keep your own feelings in check? NEELY: It’s very difficult. In the story I did in the Sichuan Middle School there were 1,300, mostly students, who died and as they dug up classroom after classroom you were left with just a grotesque tableau of children caught in the most appalling positions.They would pull them out and none of that you can show… How do you convey the horror of a school where 1,300 pupils have died and put it on an evening television broadcast? This is immensely difficult. Emotionally, of course it’s difficult, but I often think back to a surgeon I met when I started journalism. He said, “Look, the hardest thing to do is to operate on children and sometimes they die. But I’m a surgeon. I just have to disconnect my emotions from what I’m doing at the time.” We largely have to do that. But of course as journalists you want to put something human in there. So it is a difficult balancing act.And the other difficult thing, rather like a war, is—in the case of the China earthquake—how do you show something that’s so vast, that kills 80,000 people, that has created 35 artificial lakes within days? Often the technique we use, of course, is to go for the family or the individual. And yes, there are always very emotional things in microcosm like that. International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010
EMMY_1109_59 Page 3 11/6/09 6:36 PM
SHAPIRO: I think it’s true that we as viewers tend to need a single story to latch onto and sometimes single stories expose a larger story.The story that William and TV Globo did was astounding. Just to briefly recap it, because I’m going to move to something else now, the story is—and correct me if I get this wrong—there are two teenagers being held hostage.The police or the rescue team goes in to rescue them.The police claim they heard a gunshot. They go and do the rescue. And then, through incredible sort of detective work, analyzing audio tapes and so forth, the real question that gets unraveled is: did the police really hear a gunshot or did they go in? And by the time they get there one teenager is killed and the other one is wounded. So let me first ask you, do you think that story worked because of who they were? If those were not teenagers, if it were not—as we in the States would call it—a kind of a sexy, interesting story, do you think it would have gripped the country as much as it did? BONNER: No, I really don’t think so. Of course, when you have teenagers studying for a test in the college, suddenly someone steps inside with a gun and it’s the exboyfriend, he’s crazy and jealous… you have a good story. But if you imagine it were two old or elder people, you know, a grandma, the drama is the same.The problem for us was not exactly the fact that there were two girls [but that one girl was released and managed to re-enter]. An absurd policeman allowed
her to [re-enter] during negotiation. She was wounded.The other one, the main hostage, was killed. But I think the very first mistake of Brazilian police in this case was the fact that they allowed the second girl to [re-enter]… on the third day, I think. In all, the story lasted five days. On the fifth day policemen used explosives, live. We had cameras there.We had three cameras recording all the time. It was really a circus, a media circus… Some networks were broadcasting live, some broadcasting phone calls to the boy with the gun. It was incredible. He had a gun and he was talking on the phone. And he could see, he could watch on TV everything around, the movement of the policemen. So this is the story. And after that, when Eloá the girl, the main hostage, was killed—actually, she died two days later—but after she died everyone asked: how could it happen? And we decided to [commence] the investigation, taking our recordings and presenting them to experts.That work of investigation, I think, is the most important part of all. Because it was a kind of a proof of the kind of training our policemen have in Brazil… [it was] the most important part of it all.
“My one great regret at this minute is how poorly American networks cover the world.” —Bill Neely
SHAPIRO: Well, and let me lead you to a discussion, which I think all of us can take part in, which is: to what degree as a reporter, do you trust the information you get in the field? And then how do you make judgments about whether you believe it or

EMMY_1109_62 Page 4 11/6/09 6:36 PM
IARMOLIUK: Well, it was really challenging covering that in Ossetia because the Ossetians were quite eager to [broadcast] the real quantity of the victims. But there were [a lot Russian sources acting], to some extent, to conceal the actual figures. So it was, again, the double information… we could talk to the head of the hospital about how many people died in that particular hospital, how many wounded. BONNER: Our colleague who covered the siege in Brazil, it reminds me of the siege in Beslan, which was a much bigger scale. The difference between the two, of course, is that you had International Academy President & CEO, Bruce Paisner, talking to Panelists from Inter TV (Ukraine) and the cameras rolling and were able to conduct an investigation. TV Globo (Brazil) We still don’t know how the terrible denouement of Beslan happened and we will never know not?… Bill, clearly the Chinese government had an agenda to what the shot was. Or did the Spetsnaz forces simply lose paprove that they were in charge. How did that affect your reporttience? So I suppose the important lesson for us as journalists is, ing and the things you were hearing? NEELY: Well, I covered the Armenian earthquake, which was you know, number one: Be there. Get as close as possible. And keep the cameras rolling. then the Soviet Union.When the Soviet Union said that 25,000 people died across Armenia in 1989, 25,000 died in one small SHAPIRO: I wanted to ask you, as this story unfolded, it’s clear area of Spitak, one small town in Armenia. So right from the beas I watched it, there are several press conferences where ginning my template was, you know, governments might lie. All the rescue forces keep repeating their story, which turns out not governments, even our own, will be inclined to twist the truth. to be true. Did you feel pressure from any quarters not to purSo you simply have to approach it like that. As a journalist you sue the story or any pressure from the government not to pursimply have to be skeptical, if not cynical. sue it? I have to say, my experience of the Chinese was that they BONNER: No, no, fortunately not. We have a democracy in were willing to be honest about casualty figures.What subseBrazil now. The problem is that police don’t want to recognize quently they have not been honest about is that so many of they made a mistake.They said,“No, no, we heard a shot inside those casualties were caused because of corruption in the and decided to go in”… So had to hear the same shot with building industry. In any of these towns during the earthquake three different recordings and we didn’t.The first noise you can you would look around and you would see the town hall hear is the explosion in the door.After that, two shots or three. standing and the library standing and some civic buildings And the girls wounded and after that one of them died. So no standing and the school was dust. And there was a good reathere was no pressure on us—only an effort to hide the truth son for that, because the Education Department had been by the part of the policemen in Brazil. That’s all. part of a process of corruption. The Chinese government was very, very reluctant, and still is SHAPIRO: Jonah, in your stories I recall when you’re watching today, to admit that. Apart from that, I have to say, I was actually the evacuations… How do you know who to believe and how pleasantly surprised. I went to China, not only without a cameradid you know where to go? What told you to stay or go? man, without a producer, without an editor, but on a tourist visa— HULL: Instinct. But just to pick up on the previous question and got in and ended up, well, as we said, marching with the Red leading into this one, who to believe. I think—correct me Army.We had a tape confiscated once. But apart from that, I was if I’m wrong—a lot of the time you have to accept that you actually very pleasantly surprised by the ease of access. just can’t believe anybody and that there is no substitute for, where possible, being on the ground and seeing it for SHAPIRO: Ruslan, so let me ask you, sometimes in your yourself. The advantage we had in the Russia/Georgia situreporting, I remember you would come across an incident, ation or the difficulty in the Russia/Georgia situation was a tank that was smoldering or a building that was in that both sides were lying, just crassly and shamelessly and flames—and someone said,“I did this” or “The Russians did distorting the facts and the truth. And the advantage that this.” How did you figure out who you could believe and we had as a channel was that we were in early and we able who you could trust? 62

to see for ourselves.We were actually there when it began, quite literally, when the Georgians were firing rockets over our heads into the capital of South Ossetia, completely indiscriminately, using a weapon that we knew could not be accurately targeted, which was something that for days afterwards the Georgians denied ever having done. They blamed the Russians for having started it, for having moved in first. It was very clear to us that there was no return of fire, which suggested that there was no well equipped army on the other side. We were also able to witness the Georgian tanks trundling in great numbers into South Ossetia, right past our position, which again, their official spokesman completely denied ever happened.And we were then able to watch them coming out several hours later in panic and fear, having realized that the Russians had, in the meantime, arrived, which the Russians denied ever happened. So, you know, what we had was the advantage of being there and being able to watch these events—almost comical, in a way, because they happened so quickly.This was a conflict that took five days. So we were able to see it all.We were actually alone in most of those cases so there was no other reporting from the scene and that gave us an enormous advantage. In terms of the direction, in terms of knowing where to go, it was pretty clear.You know, there was one road which the Russians were going to use to come into Georgia.There was one town which the Russians were going to bomb first if they were ever going to bomb anywhere.You knew. After that it spread and became more difficult. But the substance of what was going on followed a fairly linear geographical map path. SHAPIRO: So let me be a critic now. Some would say,“As reporters, you get these compelling human stories but you miss the larger picture.” Because reviewers were just so taken with the suffering or the running or the bang, bang, as they say. How do you get to the larger story? And is that a fair criticism or do 64
you think we actually do get to it? Bill, let me start with you. NEELY: It is very difficult. You know, how do you...I was in Afghanistan last week. I mean, how do you sum up or explain all the intricacies of the Afghan war to a largely skeptical public who is fed up with eight years of war, anyway? I mean, when has India ever been mentioned in coverage of the Afghan war on a TV nightly broadcast? But actually, India is very impor tant to what’s happening in Afghanistan. For Pakistan—that’s their enemy. And they think the Indians are meddling in Afghanistan, and the Indians are. But I spent last week with the 82nd Airborne’s Combat Division. How could I possibly talk about the wider picture? Now, I know maps are boring, but sometimes you need maps and you need to say to the public,“Just give me 20 seconds.This may bore you but it’s actually quite important.” We’re very scared to do that because we want—and I as a journalist want—I mean, I want to get my audience by the collar and hold on for a minute and a half.That’s what you want.You want to keep their attention. And sometimes some of this stuff is boring but necessary. So for Ossetia, Georgia, you know, what’s that about? The first war I covered in the Soviet Union was Armenia/Azerbaijan over a territory called Nagorno-Karabakh. It was important but, you know, if you write an introduction that says,“Now for news of Nagorno-Karabakh,” I’m sorry, you’re going to lose people right there. SHAPIRO: Ruslan, I notice even in your stories that many times they would go back to the studio for long sections with maps and people explaining where things were. In the States we would call it the back story. Do you think your audience is more willing to listen to that? Are they more curious? And do you think it works? IARMOLIUK: [We were fortunate with our] TV news program because we had different crews working different areas, both in Ossetia and in Georgia.And it’s definitely quite impossible to show how the tanks are moving, so the only way is really to show the maps. If there is no other way, there is no other way... SHAPIRO: Now, the thing about your story William, is that as I watched your reporting, I never really saw someone on the air—you or any of the reporters—say,“What they’re telling you, the audience, isn’t true”.Though when you put what they said next to the facts it sort of became clear what was true. Do you think it’s ever a journalist’s job to say,“That’s not true, that’s a lie”? Should someone come out and say that? International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

BONNER: Yeah. Our story was not a war but the first victim in war is truth, right? It was impossible to believe the [police’s version of what went on] but we had to test it. It’s different from believing they were wrong.We suspected they were wrong but we had to try their version of the facts.And I think we were very objective. SHAPIRO: And I think that’s true in your reporting.You seem to be testing their theory. I want to talk to the gentleman out in the field because that’s a different situation. Jonah, what’s the line for you—and I think there are some times in your reporting where you said, you know, it’s incredulous to believe that this was a targeted...you know, when a hospital is hit or something.To what degree, do you think...What’s the line when you see something is a lie? What’s your obligation to say it and how firmly do you say it? HULL: I mean, that’s a tricky one because how do you ever really know the truth unless it’s right in front of you? You know, in terms of the responsibility that we have as journalists and as media in general to correct falsehoods where we see them and know them to be falsehoods, you know, for sure we have that responsibility. Our work is not just about informing and illuminating the lives of dark corners of the planet for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.We’re also watched, to differing degrees, by different decision-makers and important people who watch because we’re there and very often because we’re able to ascertain truths that official mouthpieces don’t give out. I mean, you have to be absolutely certain, don’t you? And again, that comes down to being there and knowing what you see with your own eyes to be different to what you’re being told by official spokespeople.And if that’s the case, sure, you say it. I think it’s fine to show a healthy amount of skepticism, cynicism perhaps. You attribute. If this is what you’re being told by a government or by an official you believe might not be a 100 percent true, well, I think it’s okay to suggest that that be taken with a bit of caution. NEELY: Well, our viewers aren’t stupid. Present them with the facts and let them make up their own minds.You don’t have to label someone a liar. I mean, my mind went back to another siege, to Waco,Texas. And I sat in front of the then-Attorney General, Janet Reno, as she presented her report into that siege.And it was, for all intents and purposes, an absolute whitewash of the government agencies that had been involved in that but it was very difficult to call Janet Reno a liar.You simply present what you recorded at the time and what she says in her official report.You can then editorialize, if you like, in your piece to camera but people are grown up enough to make their own mind up, really. SHAPIRO: Ruslan, in your story there were some times people telling you things that you suspected weren’t true, that they were exaggerating in one way or the other. Is that something you feel you need to provide context for the viewer, to explain that you’re not really sure who to trust? IARMOLIUK: It shows there were quite a lot of occasions when we suspected something was untrue. There was quite a good example of that when the Russian reports were telling that a day before the mission of OSCE left Ossetia totally and didn’t warn the people and didn’t let them to be evacuated, didn’t let them know that there was an option to do that. And for instance, there was a lot of that kind of information when the Georgians first used the term “invading”, they were invading this town, about the way the Ossetian civilians were murdered. It wasn’t really [true at all and the information supports this]. International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

SHAPIRO: All of you, your reporting, a lot was done with technology that wasn’t available 10 or 15 years ago. More and more you can get places you couldn’t get before.You can get your stories back in ways you couldn’t before.We can use the internet in ways that really couldn’t have been done before. So is journalism better today than it was before because of that or not? Bill? NEELY: No. [Laughter] It means that, like 9/11, there may well be more images of what happened but that still leaves you with the conundrum of sorting out why it happened, how it happened, exactly what happened. You know, who piloted the planes? Why did this happen? In the story that I did, the most graphic bit of it was provided by a civilian who filmed the Sichuan earthquake from 20 seconds after it began and continued filming for an hour. None of our cameramen filmed that. My job was—I was given this one hour of video—was to sort out what was happening. When did he film it? Who did he see? Where did he go? What does it mean? So that I had the raw material but the job of journalism remains the same. In fact, it may be even more difficult now because you’ve got videos potentially from all over the place. You may have hundreds of them from all different points of view. And you may, in certain circumstances, be given videos that are absolutely false—
Hitler diaries on video.We do have to watch about the danger of being manipulated by very clever governments. SHAPIRO: Let me do a follow-up just about that video because I remember seeing it. It’s incredibly powerful. Now, certainly in the States, the word “exclusive” is something we all have chased after. Is that kind of competition ultimately destructive or is it good? Because we’re trying to get the best things we can get that nobody else has? NEELY: I think it’s good. I mean, British television, where I work, is a tremendously competitive area. You know, we at ITN are up against two much bigger rivals—the BBC, which is massively funded through public money, and Sky, which is funded by Rupert Murdoch. And we are the little guy, you know, trying to compete against those giants. I think it’s a good thing. I think it keeps us sharp. I have the greatest respect for my colleagues at the BBC and Sky. I think it does make for better public knowledge.
“The first victim in war is truth.” —William Bonner
SHAPIRO: Competition—how much do you feel it when you’re out there? And are we better off today than we were 10 years ago? HULL: Well, I would echo what Bill says. I mean, the competition makes us sharper but not necessarily better as journalists. And certainly the evolution of technology, which has

been so rapid, particularly in the last couple of years, now means that you can put a television news report together and send it in a matter of a couple of hours. The faster that you are able to do that and the more technology that you have at your disposal to allow you to be able to send this stuff quicker to the news rooms, the greater the appetite is to get it quicker. And that sometimes means that good journalism is cut. So, you know, that’s a note of caution. But it certainly means you can get a lot more stuff out there and a lot quicker. And that means people are informed quicker and I suppose that’s a good thing. SHAPIRO: And William, has journalism gotten better or worse? BONNER: It’s interesting because as Bill said, “We have to be there and we have to get the cameras rolling”… But if you ask me if journalism is better now, my experience as a journalist in a Third World country? Yes. Because today, with internet technology we can be present in so many places.We are there, as Bill said.We are there in many, many, many countries. So we have in Jornal Nacional, at Globo TV in Brazil, conditions to make more and better journalism nowadays. If we [succeed in doing that], that’s another question. SHAPIRO: All right.And I’ll go around the table one more time and then we’ll open up for a few questions. So let’s go.William, I’ll begin with you. Is there any story or any area of the world that you think we’re not covering enough? What are we missing? What could we be doing better at that we’re doing? BONNER: I’d say in Brazil we try to cover [specific] themes and the needs of Brazilian people.We have lots of problems— health, education, transportation—and we try but Brazil is a very large country.And I’d say we are trying to do our best for making a new idea of a new country. I don’t know what you in the 70
U.S. and all over the world think about Brazil today.We have a good feeling about Brazil. A friend of mine was saying that it seems to be a very good moment for Brazil but [while that’s true] we have problems there and our challenge [is to find a solution] to our real issues, like these I mentioned here. SHAPIRO: Ruslan, for you is there any issue, either in your part of the world, in things you’ve covered, or anything that you think needs more attention and that we as journalists could be doing a better job in covering? IARMOLIUK: There are stories which are important in the Ukraine that highlight striking problems.We have corruption in the courts and among high-level authorities. There is a story that I am personally covering on our channel about a member of Parliament who, during a hunting trip, actually killed someone. We covered half of the story but he is somewhere in exile—he escaped.That’s the story I would love to finish and broadcast. SHAPIRO: Bill, you can wave a magic wand.You can go anywhere or do anything. What’s the one area of the world or a specific story we’re not paying enough attention to? NEELY: I would find that very difficult to answer. Each country looks at the area of the world that it cares most about. When the terrible events were going on in Algeria 10 years ago, French television would lead on that story most nights. Just across the Channel, in Britain, we rarely covered it. I’m going to say something slightly controversial here. My one great regret at this minute is how poorly American networks cover the world. I am stunned how often we go to places and there is no one from CBS there. And with the greatest respect to my cousins at NBC, who I love dearly, you know, we are in places and I look around and think, Where the hell are they? Why aren’t they here? So, you know, maybe the great danger International Emmy Almanac 2009/2010

for a country is when it just stops caring about other places because I think that’s a disservice to the whole people. And, you know, as international journalists we’ve got to hang onto that responsibility to cover the world, whatever slice of it we think. Just briefly to answer your question, I often think in British television, South America is the Lost Continent. There’s very, very little news of South America that gets on British TV. And that’s a shame. SHAPIRO: Jonah, you’ve got the magic wand. It’s your turn. HULL: Yeah, that should probably have been the full stop on the whole day, actually.

But I HULL: Well, you know, this gives me an opportunity to talk think, yes, it is important to show you’re there. about Al Jazeera, [chuckles] which, you know, I’m sure is a favorite subject. One of the great advantages of a channel like Q: With the Georgian/Russian war there are always or there Al Jazeera—and I don’t know how many of you have seen it, have been preconceived notions and moral judgments in the the English version, so that you could actually understand countries that you are working for. How do you deal with this what’s being said—but the great advantage that Al Jazeera has, as a reporter? I believe, is that we don’t have a national agenda. We don’t HULL: It’s probably a better question for Ruslan, since at the belong to a national government.
