Two Southeastern students won the 2020 Student Production Awards from the Emmys’ Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Spring 2020 graduate John Sartori and Spring 2021 graduating senior John Williams received recognition for their work at the Southeastern Channel. The channel also received an award in the “Sports-Live Event” category for its student broadcast of Southeastern’s football game against Incarnate Word on Oct. 12, 2019.
Sartori won in the “Talent” category for his demo reel submission, a composite of his on-camera anchoring and reporting work at the Southeastern Channel, for the second year in a row. Sartori said after receiving his first Emmy in his junior year, he worked to improve in his craft.
