This year’s regional Emmy nominations are in, and The Washington Post’s video team received 12 nominations for their work this year. The Emmy-nominated video work ranges from general assignment news (“The Chess Grandmaster”) to large projects months in the making (“Remembering the Shuttle Era”, “Following the Dreamers”).
The regional Emmys are from the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter.
The Emmy nominations are the first for video journalist A.J. Chavar, who joined the Post in 2010. Chavar is nominated for three video projects, including “A Catalog of Grieving,” “On Leadership: MicroManagement Stories,” and “Remembering the Shuttle Era.”
“I’ve only been out of school for two years so it’s really cool for me,” Chavar said. “It’s an honor.”
The nominations come on the heels of the White House News Photographers Association awards where Post journalists received multiple awards for their work.
The Emmy nods are a strong recognition of the future of video for both the Post and online video in general, said Andrew Pergam, Director of Video for the Post.
“It’s a great recognition of the hard work that these journalists do all the time,” Pergam said.
