BRATTLEBORO — The producers of Vermont Public Television's Headline Vermont won an Emmy at the 34th annual Boston/New England awards held May 14 in Boston.
Headline Vermont chronicles the passion of Vermonters for newspapers from the frontier era into the 21st century. In discussing the importance of community newspapers, it features the work of The Commons.
The Emmy for Historical/Cultural Program/Special went to Daniel Lyons, producer; Enzo Di Maio, executive producer; and Nate Huffman, videographer/editor.
Lyons is a resident of Brattleboro. A veteran television producer and cinematographer, he has shot and produced shows for National Geographic, PBS, the Discovery Channel, the Smithsonian Institution, and the History Channel, among others. The film was his first Emmy-nominated work. Headline Vermont, which was funded by Vermont Public Television, the Vermont Humanities Council, and the Windham Foundation, premiered last December. It is available on DVD and as video on demand at www.vpt.org/learn/vpt-productions.
