# International Emmy Award for Best News

The International Emmy Award for Best News is presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) to the best news programming produced and initially broadcast outside of the United States. The categories for international journalism are presented at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards alongside their U.S. counterparts. The award was first given in 1999.

## Rules and regulations

According to the rules of the International Academy, the category is intended for "continuing coverage of a breaking news story in a regularly scheduled newscast (a newscast that covers the major news of the day on a consistent basis)".
In order to be qualify for the category, the entry must be at least twenty minutes and no longer than forty-five minutes in duration. The entry may be drawn from a single broadcast or a series of broadcasts and may include background and analysis, along with new developments in an ongoing story.
