Over the past decade, Simon has helped several news organizations overhaul their operations, train their staff in the implementation of integrated, platform-neutral production process, and build audiences as a result.
Between 2008 and 2011, Simon was a key member of the team that relaunched the PBS NewsHour. First as a consultant, then as Associate Executive Producer of the NewsHour, and finally as President/CEO of the company, Simon helped create an integrated digital newsroom, and oversaw the training of staff in new production workflows.
Simon passionately believes that at a time when new technology permits news operations to cover the serious global news stories of our time at a fraction of the cost previously associated with international coverage, broadcasters have an opportunity and an obligation to inform their audiences with substantive daily coverage.
