“It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive,” the AJ+ news story from Palestinian journalist/activist/filmmaker Bisan Owda that sparked controversy after earning a News and Documentary Emmy nomination earlier this 12 months, has now won that Emmy.

The report won the outstanding hard news feature story—short form category on Wednesday in the course of the news portion of the two-day forty fifth Annual News & Documentary Emmys, held by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. After the project’s nomination, there have been calls by the U.S.-based nonprofit Creative Community For Peace for the nomination to be rescinded, with a letter signed by the Hollywood notables including of Debra Messing, Sherry Lansing, Haim Saban and others accusing Owda of getting ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a United States-designated terrorist group.

“It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive,” which had previously won a Peabody, uses social media to chronicle Owda’s family’s plight as they flee bombardment of their home in Gaza City.

In response, NATAS president/CEO Adam Sharp said that Owda’s nomination wouldn’t be rescinded, writing in a letter that “It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive” was “reviewed by two successive panels of independent judges, including senior editorial leadership from each significant U.S. broadcast news network,” and likewise noted that it had been recognized by the Peabody and the Edward R. Murrow Awards.

“NATAS is aware of reports, cited in your letter and initially surfaced by a communications consultant within the region, that appear to indicate a then-teenaged Bisan Owda speaking at various PFLP-associated events between six and nine years ago,” he added. “NATAS has been unable to corroborate these reports, nor has it been able, thus far, to surface any evidence of more contemporary or lively involvement by Owda with the PFLP organization. Most critically, the content submitted for award consideration was consistent with competition rules and NATAS policies.”

In accepting the award, senior executive producer John Lawrence said, “This award is testament to at least one woman, only with an iPhone, who survived almost a 12 months of bombardment. Over 100 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, including several of our Al Jazeera colleagues. Our bureau within the occupied West Bank was shut down at gunpoint just last week. We thanks, our journalistic community, for this recognition.. and we urge you in joining us in saying that journalist is just not a criminal offense.”

The Israel-Gaza war was the topic of several winners at Wednesday night’s ceremony, including the outstanding breaking news coverage Emmy, which went to CNN for its reports on the conflict. CNN also won the outstanding continuing news coverage: short form Emmy for journalist Clarissa Ward’s reports, while the outstanding continuing news coverage: short form Emmy went to CNN’s “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper” and “Anderson Cooper 360” for its coverage of “Terror in Israel.” ABC’s ABC News Live won the outstanding live interview—short form for its coverage of “Israeli Leader Speaks Out.”

Overall, CNN led the evening with 11 wins, including five for “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper,” while ABC and Nat Geo each landed five wins each (ABC News itself had eight, including three credited to Hulu). Nat Geo’s “Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller” also earned five Emmys, tied with Cooper for essentially the most on the night.

Other outlets receiving Emmys included ProPublica/Latest Yorker (3), CBS (3), Univision (2) and Al Jazeera (2). Landing its first Emmy was Scripps News.

ABC won the outstanding live news program Emmy for “ABC World News Tonight With David Muir.”

Longtime broadcast journalist and creator Jane Pauley, currently the host of “CBS News Sunday Morning,” received a lifetime achievement award on Wednesday’s news-focused ceremony, while Thursday’s documentary-centric event will honor documentarian/director Alex Gibney with a lifetime achievement award as well.

The forty fifth annual News & Documentary Emmys, administered by the Latest York-based National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, is happening over two nights (Wednesday, Sept. 25 and Thursday, Sept. 26) at Latest York’s Palladium Times Square. It’s streamed on NATAS’ viewing app.

“Those that shine a light-weight on inconvenient truths, give voice to the voiceless, or just report documented facts are far too often punished through efforts to demonize and delegitimize such essential work. On these two nights, we do the vital opposite. The Emmys rejoice those that face these headwinds to bring essential stories to our screens and, in turn, provide a vision of excellence that inspires the subsequent generation to follow,” Sharp said.
