Held on October 26th at the Marriott Marquis in Manhattan, this star studded New York Emmys gala celebrated excellence in the arts and sciences of television and other related media. Darley Newman and the team from her production company and NJ PBS were honored with an Emmy Award nomination in the Lifestyle Category for “Look Up: Asbury Park,” which traces the ups and downs of the diverse beach community of Asbury Park through its musical history, architecture, restaurants, events and entrepreneurs.
Darley was also honored to act as a presenter, handing out awards in the Traffic Category, which she joked about as being fitting for her long-running career as a travel journalist.
