It was filmed at 17,598 feet with the highest level of cinematography and reporting,” said Business Insider Head of Video, Erica Berenstein.
Contributor Stella Kalinina, Health Correspondent Hilary Brueck and Deputy Executive Editor Mia de Graaf won in the category of Sports, Recreation, and Adventure for their piece “Long-lived Loma Linda,” which offers a peek inside the US’s only original Blue Zone.
