A series of reports from Sky News and a Channel 4’s Dispatches programme each focusing on The Taliban in Pakistan have scooped International Emmy awards for news and current affairs.
Sky News won in the news category for its Pakistan – Terrors’ Front Line reports, from March last year, which detailed the increasing control taken by the Taliban.
The similarly-themed Dispatches documentary, Pakistan’s Taliban Generation, produced by October Films, collected the current affairs award for its investigation on how the war on terror is creating a generation of child terrorists.
Sky and Channel 4 fought off tough international competition to collect prizes from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at a ceremony in New York on Monday.
