Business Insider has been nominated for three News & Documentary Emmys, a recognition of the company's growing strength in visual storytelling and industry-leading video journalism. Each nominated piece reflects a bold editorial approach that focuses on immersive visual storytelling, and seeks to tell stories through the eyes of the people who are living them.
The three Emmy categories Business Insider was nominated in are:
- Outstanding Light Feature — Long Form: The Man Who Feeds Gaza's Children
- Outstanding Business, Consumer or Economic coverage: The True Cost of Mining Electric Car Battery Metals
- Outstanding Graphic Design, News: Four Gazans Show How War Devastated Their Coastline
For each nominated piece, Business Insider's video team takes viewers on a journey to meet the people around the world who are at the center of the race to mine battery metals — from families living on the Bolivian salt flats to entrepreneurs scouting the depths of the ocean. In covering the war in Gaza, the team's use of animation, meticulous geolocation, satellite imagery, and intimate personal stories brought a new view to what's been lost on Gaza's coastline, and how one food influencer is trying to keep hope alive.
The announcement comes on the heels of Business Insider's YouTube channel receiving a Diamond Play Button from the platform (for surpassing 10 million subscribers!) and two 2025 Webby Awards.
