Bio : I was a business journalist for 18 years in print and have been an independent producer at my local public radio station, KUNM, for eight years where I host Weekend Edition, a world music show, and do long-form interviews for a show on women\'s issues. I also write and produce a newscast focused on women. And I do occasional freelance stories for the news department, usually on cultural or arts topics. I have a master\'s degree in journalism from Marquette University and have worked in Milwaukee, San Antonio, New Orleans and now Albuquerque. I am now a half-time TV producer and host at New Mexico PBS and an independent producer at KUNM-FM. I am the immediate past president of the Journalism and Women Symposium, a national organization.
Notes : I have been in New Mexico for more seven years and have found fascinating stories here, on the business beat, in tribal business, in science, and in arts and culture, that I think would make great regional and national stories as well. I am interested in trying to get those out to a wider audience. My TEDxAlbuquerque talk on women in media went national in June 2012. You can see it here. http://tinyurl.com/7bfhkw8

EMPLOYMENT
CNN
(February 2008 - Present)
Managing Editor CNN / US
I provide editorial guidance to lead CNN programs and correspondents to follow our own news agenda, with the goal of higher quality enterprise and investigative reporting. Working with program producers and bureau chiefs, I devise coverage plans for large-scale news stories, series and special initiatives. Network Booking reports directly to me, and that unit runs guest booking during breaking news situations and works to bring new voices to air. I help run the quality assurance team, which involves the quarterly monitoring and evaluation of network programs. I facilitate weekly producer meetings to make sure program staffs are executing CNN’s journalistic vision. I also write the Most Intriguing Persons column at cnn.com/mip.
NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
(March 2001 – February 2008)
Senior Vice President for Programming
I led the creation, acquisition, and growth of all NPR programming, more than 1400 hours each week, on broadcast radio, HD radio, satellite radio, online, and through such platforms as podcasting and cell phones. I was also involved in the strategic planning that transformed NPR from what was once a radio entity into a digital media company. During my years there, NPR news, talk, entertainment and music programming was heard each week by 26 million people through 820 non-commercial, public radio stations across the country. NPR Worldwide reached 150 countries. Each month on average, npr.org attracted 6 million unique visitors. NPR Podcasting generated more than 10 million downloads a month.
At the age of 17, I began at a public radio station in New York City, and after graduating college, worked at NPR for nearly fourteen years, having created Morning Edition, the #1 program in public radio and the #1 rated morning program in all of radio. After fourteen years at CBS Television—the last five years at 60 Minutes—I returned to NPR as SVP for Programming.

Bio : Josh started out as an embryo, 53 times smaller than a US nickel. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, his attempts at an early age to fuse the abstract concepts of comedy and science through home video led to many nights filming in the basement. Eventually this passion led him to create short offbeat science segments for ABC Nightline, Good Morning America, and Fox. With a unique visual style and irreverent sense of humor he tackled boring sounding topics like Social Security and Cellular Differentiation and made them fun to watch. Highlights include dressing up as a sheep and using large balls of Jell-O to explain cloning. Currently he lives in Los Angeles and specializes in fast-paced short form content. As well as creating science segments for NPR and PBS.
Other fun facts include: Once while animating a pair of baseballs, he severed a tendon in his thumb and he hates cilantro (not a preference - it’s biological).
