Journalist Judy Woodruff<\/a> spent the last two years \u201creporting on America\u201d by traveling the country to speak to people and try to find out why we\u2019ve become so polarized. Today on Transition Lab, she tells us about how politics has changed since she arrived in Washington, D.C., during the Carter administration, how these changes inspired her current series, \u201cAmerica at a Crossroads,\u201d and what she\u2019s learned from it. Spoiler alert: the problems are as big as you imagine, but so are the ideas of Americans working to solve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judy is a senior correspondent and the former anchor and managing editor of the PBS NewsHour. She has covered politics and other news for more than five decades at five major news networks. Since leaving the PBS anchor chair at the end of 2022, she\u2019s been working on a new series, America at a Crossroads, where she speaks with Americans across the country to understand what\u2019s driving our current political environment and what might be done to bridge the divide. Judy has won numerous awards during her career, including the Partnership for Public Service\u2019s 2023 Spirit of Service Award and 25 honorary degrees. She\u2019s also a dedicated philanthropist, championing causes including disability rights and women\u2019s equity in the media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
