Cinematography for CNBC's Documentary

“American Indians and Alaska Natives are entitled to federally-funded health care under treaties negotiated between tribal nations and the U.S. government. The independent and bipartisan Commission on Civil Rights wrote in a 2018 report that the U.S. government has not adequately funded these programs. The report concluded the lack of funding has left many indigenous communities without the ability to provide quality care. Here’s how government-funded health services for Indigenous Americans works in the United States and how many activists and experts would like to see the system reformed.”

Newsday has won an Edward R. Murrow Award for its Long Island Divided series

A documentary accompanying the November 2019 multipart investigation won in the news documentary category, large digital news organization division, the Radio Television Digital News Association announced Saturday during a virtual ceremony.

The association has given out the Edward R. Murrow Awards, recognizing excellence in electronic journalism, since 1971.

Long Island Divided wins a Peabody Award

Newsday has won a Peabody Award for its Long Island Divided series, which explored discrimination in home buying on Long Island. Yeong is credited as a cinematographer for the film.


”Newsday’s three-year-long investigation of housing discrimination and its impact on Long Island’s suburban towns and communities is local investigative journalism at its best. Long Island Divided marshals a team of reporters, state of the art news reporting, and considerable resources to illuminate the area’s history, practice, and impact of housing discrimination with evidence from paired field tests, policy history, and interviews. The story details the patterns and practices of racial discrimination through redlining and steering, highlighting in particular the everyday practices by realtors and the real estate industry—the knowing agents as well as the institutions and organizations that license and enable them. Through compelling documentary, data journalism, and hidden cameras, Long Island Divided is comprehensive and exhaustively detailed, showing the personal toll and collective impact on individuals and families subjected to housing discrimination. For its courage, commitment, and determination in shining a bright light on the legal, economic, historical, social, and moral consequence of inaction on this urgent and persistent problem, we applaud Long Island Divided as a Peabody Award winner.”
