about.
I’m Deanna Fry (Dean-nuh), a Peabody and National Emmy® Award-winning Senior Producer and Showrunner with nearly 20 years of experience in broadcast journalism.
I've led teams through live breaking news, cultural reckonings, and political showdowns, all with a steady hand and a fierce editorial vision. My work across various platforms has earned both Peabody and Emmy Awards, reflecting a deep commitment to producing journalism that is timely, compelling, and impactful.
I am looking for the opportunity to shape a bold, intelligent, and forward-looking news broadcast, and to create something that cuts through the noise.
I serve as Senior Producer for CBS News' Race & Culture Unit and as the Showrunner and Senior Broadcast Producer for America in Black on BET, which I co-created and have led through two successful, award-winning seasons. From brainstorm to broadcast, I've overseen every aspect of production, from editorial framing and field coverage to live directing and post-production, all while managing a dynamic team.
I also currently support our Standards & Practices Unit, bringing a high level of integrity and editorial rigor to everything I produce, while overseeing many of the stories in the network. Prior to this, I served as Supervising Producer for Face the Nation, where I helped lead live coverage out of the control room, managed editors and producers, and navigated fast-changing political landscapes with precision.
I thrive in high-pressure environments, love building strong teams, and believe deeply in journalism that informs, challenges, and reflects the country we live in. I'd welcome the chance to bring my experience to a show and to continue shaping the national conversation through smart, sharp, and fearless reporting.
