News coverage about the Sept. 11 attacks on America and their aftermath dominated the 23rd annual Emmy Awards for broadcast journalism and documentaries.
The Public Broadcasting Service garnered a total of 14 trophies, one of them for a "Nova" segment on biological terrorism, though commercial broadcast networks dominated the awards' marquee categories, led by CBS with seven prizes.
