Jason Seiken
Jason Seiken is a digital media executive and entrepreneur who, according to the Guardian, "reinvented PBS... changing it from a conventional broadcaster to one with an edgy mobile and web service."
Under Seiken's leadership, PBS surpassed NBC, CBS, and ABC in traffic (comScore) and PBS won more Webby Awards in 2013 than any other media company.
Seiken also established PBS Digital Studios, which in its first year attracted a large audience of Millennials and won numerous industry accolades, including five Webby awards. The studio's production Mr. Rogers Remixed was the 10th most viral video of 2012.
Seiken's product teams have created dozens of high-ROI video and mobile products, including a video site hailed by Variety as "arguably the most innovative and well designed on the market."
As founding editor-in-chief of washingtonpost.com, Seiken launched The Washington Post web site that at the time was hailed as "startlingly good" and a "tour de force" (Philadelphia Inquirer) and a "gem" (Walt Mossberg).
Seiken also was the first American to run a British newsroom, as editor-in-chief of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph.
