The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has announced the 2023 Gold and Silver Circle Inductees who will be feted at the 44th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards, which will be presented at two individual ceremonies: News on Sept. 27 and documentary on Sept. 28.

Longtime television news anchor Dan Rather is among the news inductees in the Gold Circle, along with CBS News’ national security correspondent David Martin and ABC News correspondent John Quiñones. The Silver Circle inductees for news include ABC News president Kim Godwin and senior national correspondent Steve Osunsami; CBS News producer Rand Morrison; CNBC senior vp of operations Steve Fastook; Meruelo Media president and CEO Otto Padron; and NBC News editor Thomas Snowden.

The documentary Gold Circle inductees are DCTV co-founders Jon Alpert and Keiko Tsuno, while the Silver Circle inductees include Daniel H. Birman, Lois Vossen and Christopher White.

“This year’s Gold and Silver honorees are recognized for their phenomenal and continuing contributions to our television industry,” said Adam Sharp, NATAS President and CEO, in a statement. “Their persistent excellence of craft has enabled viewers to be better informed about the issues of the day, even as the character of the news cycle has evolved so markedly over the storied course of their careers. We celebrate the courage of these professionals and salute the vital storytelling they bring to our screens.”
