ALERT: Film hyping cruel Iditarod wins Emmy Award - WRITE
A film promoting the Iditarod received an Emmy Award. The film was produced by the Iditarod and the Iditarod's Director of Public Relations was its "Executive In Charge." The Academy never should have nominated a film hyping this abusive race and never should have supported it with an Emmy.
From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsleddogs.org
On June 2, 2007, The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Northwest Chapter gave an Emmy Award to an Iditarod promotional film made by the Iditarod. The Emmy was given in the "News Specials" category.
The Academy say "News Specials" awards are given "For excellence in coverage of a one-time-only, significant, newsworthy event, occasion or topic aired outside any regularly scheduled news program. Subject should be an in-depth treatment of current topic."
Tell The National Academy that films promoting Iditarod dog abuse should never receive an Emmy Award. Films that fail to detail the animal protection viewpoint of the race do not give in-depth news. They are pure hype.
