Set to represent the country in the News Program: Newscast category is the special coverage of GMA Integrated News' "24 Oras" on Super Typhoon Carina (Gaemi) and Habagat (Southwest Monsoon). Amid the non-stop rainfall and flooding in July 2024, GMA Integrated News teams braved the super typhoon to deliver essential information across all platforms for Filipinos. GMA's flagship newscast kept viewers informed as Carina and Habagat ravaged the country. In 2024, GMA Integrated News' "Sundo: A GMA Integrated News Documentary" took home the Bronze Medal in the News Program: News Documentary/Special category.

Multi-awarded news magazine program "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS)" returns to the NYF stage as it earns a finalist slot in the Documentary: Environment & Ecology category for its episode "Minahan sa Homonhon Island" ("Nickel and Dime: The Cost of Mining in Homonhon Island"). It unveiled the devastating effects of large-scale mining on Homonhon Island in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The episode sparked online conversations as the show's namesake and host flew to Guinan, Eastern Samar, to personally investigate the issue.

Last but not least, "The Atom Araullo Specials" is again shortlisted this year for the controversial documentary "Pogoland" under the Documentary: National Affairs category. Last year, the public affairs program took home the World Gold Medal for "Batas Bata" ("Child's Game") in the Documentary: Social Justice category.
