Executive Producer of PBS NewsHour Sara Just

In 2014, Sara Just was brought in to run one of the most storied newscasts, in one of the country's most storied institutions – NewsHour on PBS. As Executive Producer she's revitalized the show, presided over double-digit growth, and led the team through the shocking passing of co-anchor Gwen Ifill in 2016. She came in with 25 years of experience at ABC News, along the way picking up 16 Emmys and 6 Peabodys, and raising her two sons. I caught up with her at home (these days also a newsroom) on how she got into TV in the first place, balancing a family with a relentless nightly news schedule, and what she would tell her 20 year-old self.
