Janice Hui Joins ITVS As Chief Operating Officer

ITVS is pleased to announce that Janice Hui will join the organization as Chief Operating Officer. Hui will oversee strategy across the organization’s finance, information technology, business affairs, and operations units. She will focus on accelerating ITVS’ content and audience strategies in a streaming-first world while ensuring the organization’s financial health and growth.

“Janice’s skills and integrity working with producers, her leadership, and her record of building stellar teams are rare to find in a single person,” said ITVS President and CEO Carrie Lozano. “Our staff are thrilled to welcome her in a time when our mission is more essential than ever to the future of public media.”

“The integrity and trust of public media stays high because of incredibly hard work by Janice and so many other talented journalists,” said ITVS Board Chair Garry Denny. "Her experience will continue to lift ITVS for years to come."

Hui brings over 30 years of combined editorial, production, and operations experience to the role. Over the past three years at FRONTLINE, the award-winning series produced at the public media station WGBH, she led strategies and partnerships to expand audiences for international and domestic investigative stories created in collaboration with both in-house and independent producers. In March, FRONTLINE won its first Oscar for Best Documentary Feature with 20 Days in Mariupol, a film made in collaboration with a team of Associated Press journalists reporting on the war in Ukraine.

Earlier in her career, Hui was the managing director of the Investigative Reporting Program, a professional newsroom and teaching institute at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. In this role she led programs and operations and also transformed the Logan Symposium into a significant platform for diverse and innovative investigative storytelling and storytellers.

Hui’s experience also includes working as a senior producer at CBS Interactive and as a producer at the Washington, D.C. and San Francisco bureaus of CNN for nearly a decade. She began her career as a reporter/producer at Associated Press Radio. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

“ITVS films are the foundation of our communities, and I am honored by the chance to contribute to preserving its deep commitment to independent artists," said Janice Hui.
