The Folklorist Awarded Two More Emmy Awards

NewTV's original program receives two Boston/New England Emmy® Awards

NewTV’s Co-Directors of Original Programming, Andrew Eldridge and Angela Harrer, won two additional Emmy® Awards on Saturday, June 4 at the Westin Copley Place for their work on The Folklorist. One award was for Photographer Short Form and the other was for Director Post Production. These awards bring the total Emmy® wins for the show up to nine.

This is the fifth consecutive year that The Folklorist has been recognized by the Academy, and this year was especially competitive with the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Boston/New England Chapter receiving over 1,000 entries for the first time ever.

NewTV is thrilled with the success of The Folklorist over the past five years, which would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of Andrew, Angela, host John Horrigan, the interns and the talented cast and crew. For more information about The Folklorist, visit folklorist.newtv.org.
