Our Infrastructure Matters<\/a>,\u201d was nominated in the Public Affairs \u2013 Single Program category. The program is produced by ELEC825 and focuses on infrastructure projects, industries and workers.<\/p>\nThe nomination was recognized at the New York Emmy Awards ceremony Oct. 10. The program did not win the award, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n
\u201cReceiving our first New York Emmy nomination is an incredible honor and a testament to the hard work and creativity of everyone involved in producing Our Infrastructure Matters,\u201d Executive Producer Michael Makarski said. \u201cOur mission has always been to shine a spotlight on the skilled men and women who build, maintain and modernize the infrastructure we depend on every day. This recognition reinforces the importance of telling their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nominated segment takes viewers behind the scenes of New Jersey\u2019s transportation infrastructure, focusing on the engineering, labor and other work involved in building and maintaining the state\u2019s roadway network. It features firsthand perspectives on the work and the union workforce responsible for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis nomination is particularly meaningful because infrastructure is something most people take for granted,\u201d ELEC825 Director Mark Longo said. \u201cThe goal of the program is to bring these projects to life, showcase the extraordinary work happening across New Jersey and give viewers a greater appreciation for the union workforce that quietly makes it all possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presents the awards, which recognize television and digital media production in the region.<\/p>\n
