The 46th Annual Telly Awards are excited to announce that Asharq Network has been named the 2025 Telly Media Company of the Year.

Last year, Asharq News was named the 2024 Telly Company of the year, and this year they returned with a selection of standout wins across the entire Asharq Network. Established in 2020 and powered by Bloomberg and Asharq Business, the Asharq team has continued to tell impactful stories with great ingenuity, achieving the most success in our competition across Gold, Silver, and Bronze honors.  With dozens of wins across multiple verticals, including Branded Content, Shows & Series, Social Video, Immersive & Interactive, and our new Films & Shorts categories, their success demonstrates the true power and versatility of their storytelling.

As a young organization with an established global reach, judges at the Telly Awards were impressed by the breadth and depth of Asharq’s visual and journalistic reporting. The network won 2 Golds for “Dark Minds,” the Arab world’s first true crime documentary series, for spine-tingling yet informative non-fiction storytelling. Asharq’s immersive work in particular stood out to the Telly judges. Their wins in Virtual Art Direction, Political & Commentary and Digital Environments for the immersive “VR Story – Destruction of Gaza,” taking viewers inside the warzone, represent a new frontier in war journalism. Their “VR Story -RNC Event” featured innovative coverage of the United States Republican National Convention as well as a thoughtful look at the American democratic process. Asharq’s work this season truly embodies the very best of creativity and quality across all screens around the world.

The company’s work raises the bar for excellence and is defining the future of how Stories Take Shape, and that is a greater achievement than ever before. The Telly Awards are truly thrilled to honor Asharq Network and once again recognize you as a leader of video excellence.
