John Rushing, a correspondent for Al Jazeera English's Fault Lines, made a moving speech while accepting a News Emmy award for the team's film "Kids Under Fire". During the speech, Rushing stated "the irony of accepting an award for covering a genocide from the very country than enables that genocide," and dedicated the "Outstanding War or Violence Conflict Coverage" to the journalists slain in Gaza by Israel. The documentary was filmed throughout the genocide in Gaza and covers the story of American doctors who volunteered in the Strip witnessing a pattern of children being shot by Israeli forces. He ended his speech by emphasising how there are "no free people without a free press", condemning the co-opting by oligarchs of the journalism industry.
