Palestinian journalist Bisan Atef Owda has won the Emmy for Outstanding Hard News Feature: Short Form for her project 'It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive,' documenting life in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict that has claimed over 40,000 lives. Her win comes shortly after a failed campaign by the nonprofit Creative Community for Peace to rescind her nomination, which accused her of ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and EU. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences defended her nomination, stating that allegations of her past affiliations were unsubstantiated and dated. Owda's work has also been recognized with a Peabody Award earlier this year, highlighting her impactful storytelling on social media. The Emmy ceremony took place in New York City, where various media outlets, including CNN and ABC, were also honored for their coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Owda's advocacy and documentation continue to resonate with millions, amplifying the voices of those affected by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
