William Brangham is an Emmy award-winning correspondent and producer for the PBS NewsHour in Washington D.C. He joined the flagship PBS program in 2015, after spending two years with the PBS NewsHour Weekend in New York City. In his first two years, Brangham has reported across the U.S. and internationally, covering everything from the severity of America’s opioid crisis, the integration of the U.S. Marine Corps, and even a profile of Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. Brangham’s reporting on the Syrian refugee crisis in 2015 was among the work cited when the NewsHour won a George Foster Peabody Award that year. He reported a six-part series on the HIV/AIDS epidemic -- which traveled from rural Rwanda to Atlanta, Georgia -- and which won a series of major awards, including an Emmy and the National Academies of Sciences Communication Award. When he’s not out reporting in the field, Brangham is a regular interviewer on the NewsHour, and he’s occasionally anchored the weekday and weekend broadcasts. During his career, Brangham has also worked on video projects for The New York Times, ABC News, National Geographic and Frontline. Prior to joining the NewsHour, he was a producer and correspondent for Need to Know on PBS, and before that, for Bill Moyers Journal. Brangham worked on several Moyers documentary series in the 1990s, and was a producer on the critically acclaimed Now with Bill Moyers in the early 2000s. In 2014, he was an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
