After it was all said and done, each of the winners thanked everyone that supported them as well gave an inspired message of uniting together. "When the revolutionary generation put pen to parchment 250 years ago, they chose to align themselves to a vision of public freedom reinforced a decade later by the First Amendment. Generations of writers, publishers and broadcasters have rightly joined together to push back ever since," Adam Sharp, president and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, said in a statement. "Journalists are torchbearers for the public right to know and to speak."
