The group also said today that Ronan Farrow will the May 18 awards show in New York City.
The nominees were selected by unanimous vote of 19 jurors from more than 1,200 entries from television, radio/podcasts and the web in entertainment, news, documentary, children’s and public service programming. The 30 winners will be unveiled beginning next week.
“It is our great honor to recognize the most powerful and compelling but also most brilliant and creative programming of 2018,” said Jeffrey P.
