Congratulations to Multimedia Instructor Sarah Kramer on her Emmy nomination! Sarah was nominated in the “New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming: Documentaries” category for her work on the New York Times piece entitled One in 8 Million.

 One in 8 Million tells the story of one New Yorker each week for a year. The project strives to highlight the individuality and distinctiveness of each and every subject in such a vast city, focusing on a person's passions, dreams, struggles, and stories rather than accomplishments or facts. 

 “With One in 8 Million, we hoped to create a portrait of New York City as it constantly changes and evolves, personalizing what is often a city of anonymous faces,” says Sarah. “Our aim is to combine compelling photographs with singular voices to give our audience an impression of New Yorkers rather than a definition of New Yorkers.”

 As a producer of the project, Sarah says, “We are thrilled and honored to be nominated for an Emmy. “One in 8 million is a project close to the hearts of the people who worked on it, and we couldn’t be more excited.” The 31^st Annual Emmy Awards will be announced on September 27.

 Sarah will be in Maine teaching Audio Narrative, October 17-23. To read more about what Sarah and the other staff members have to say about One in 8 Million, click here.
