Rules and regulations

According to the rules of the International Academy, the category is intended for "non-fiction story from a news magazine, news oriented talk-show, or an individual or continuing feature story in a regularly scheduled newscast".[2]

In order to qualify for the category, the entry must be over ten minutes in length. The entry may cover a range of current news, investigative reports, and/or human interest topics, but they must be devoted to a single story, subject, or theme. If the submission is part of a program comprising multiple stories (i.e. each report has its own storyline and conclusion), each story must be submitted as a separate entry.
