National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeastern Chapter Celebrates 45th Anniversary

ATLANTA - Feb. 8, 2019 - EntSun -- "For journalists 2018 felt like a wild combination of tidal wave and ticker tape parade," said Regional Chapter President, Jeremy Campbell. "Across the Southeast journalists relentlessly covered a fierce midterm election, Atlanta United's MLS championship win, the devastation of Hurricane Michael and so many other impactful stories that matter to our viewers. The 2019 Emmy® Awards program is bound be as energetic and amazing as the year it represents."

Campbell, a journalist at WXIA-TV in Atlanta, became the chapter's president in 2017. Since then, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast Chapter (NATAS SE) has created strategic partnerships with SCAD, the Dekalb Entertainment Commission, Pinewood Studios and other organizations that want to partner with the Emmy Awards because of the excellence the award conveys. Campbell explains, "The award standards are very high, and when you win one, it tells people that you're work really made a difference in the lives of the viewers we serve.  Our partners want to be connected with that."
