Judy Woodruff has worked in broadcast news for almost five decades. She began her political news career in PBS as the chief Washington correspondent for the “MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour” and then moved on to anchor PBS’s award-winning series “Frontline with Judy Woodruff.” Following her time at PBS, Woodruff worked as anchor and senior correspondent for CNN for 12 years, returning to the PBS “NewsHour” in 2007. In 2013, she and Gwen Ifill became the first two women to co-anchor a national news broadcast. After Ifill’s death in 2016, Woodruff became, and remains, the sole anchor of the “NewsHour.” Her contributions to journalism have been widely recognized and have earned her the Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award and the Poynter Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism, among many others. Woodruff has been an advocate for many women’s organizations; she is one of the founders of the International Women’s Media Foundation and currently serves on its advisory council.
