RT wins prize for best 24-hour news coverage at leading international TV festival
http://rt.com/news/monte-carlo-golden-nymph-award-659/RT left rivals trailing in its wake when it captured the Golden Nymph for Best 24-hour News Programme at the Monte Carlo Television Festival for its coverage of the Chelyabinsk meteorite explosion earlier this year.
“It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by your peers, and I am very proud of all that our network has achieved at its relatively young age,” said Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor-in-chief. “This award, first and foremost, is a credit to our correspondents, whose tireless efforts made it possible for viewers all around the world to learn the details of this historic event.”
Founded in 1961, the festival is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world. The jury, staffed with editors from the world’s leading news networks, picked RT’s entry for best live coverage of an event as it unfolds ahead of CNN, Al Jazeera and Sky News.
