We're Emmy Winners...Finally!

Three years and eleven nominations later we are finally Emmy winners! This last Saturday the Mossback team was awarded a Northwest Regional Emmy for best Historical/Cultural - Short Form Content for our episode about Wyatt Earp. This is the first Emmy the Crosscut team has won in any editorial category since I started working at Crosscut in 2020 despite being nominated in numerous categories for the last two years.

I’ll be honest, I dislike awards mostly because it feels odd to create a hierarchy when documentary has such an expansive definition. But I also have to admit that it feels good to finally be recognized, knowing how hard we work to make each episode special and unique. And things like “Emmy” matter when it comes to job searches and career goals.

And, yeah, it feels good to see that statue resting on a shelf in my tiny little apartment. Best to just savor the moment. :)
