Additionally, some good news on three members of the team:
Suzanne Hillinger and Mac Schneider, who have been senior producers over the past few months, are now on the team full time. They have been valuable assets to the team, overseeing the creation of high-priority daily news videos, serving as a go-to resource for colleagues and providing editorial guidance and constructive feedback with collaborators across the newsroom.
Based in New York, Suzanne works closely with colleagues across the newsroom to identify critical stories and produce reporter videos that provide sharp insight into headline news stories.
Suzanne is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker with over two decades of experience overseeing documentary films and series that range from investigative to observational. She first worked at The Times in 2018, producing and directing several episodes of the documentary series “The Weekly.” Her episode “The Myth of the Medallion,” which investigated the NYC taxi medallion bubble, was part of the project that won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting. She has since produced and directed a number of documentaries for Netflix, Hulu, CNN, Vice and PBS, among other platforms.
Mac Schneider is based in Los Angeles and works across a range of reporter video formats, from visual explainers to news and enterprise.
