As in the rest of nonfiction, the editor is essential to documentaries that are created for broadcast or streaming networks. Whether their talents are used for a single film or across multiple episodes of a series, this award recognizes those editors who excel in storytelling that we watch in our homes and on our devices. Previous winners in this category include David Tillman for Apollo: Missions to the Moon (2020), Damian Rodriguez and David Tedeschi for Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2021), Adam Locke-Norton for How To with John Wilson (2022), Meg Ramsay for We Need to Talk about Cosby (2023), Sara Newens, Anne Yao and David Teague for Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields (2024), and Amy Foote for Girls State (2025).
