GPB has named award-winning journalist Pat St. Claire as Assistant News Director.
St. Claire will help to manage the daily editorial process, including assignments, coverage, editing, and planning. She will also serve as a reporter.

“Pat spent several months with GPB this year reporting on the General Assembly during ‘Lawmakers,’” said GPB News Director Eric Burns. “It’s clear that she shares our commitment to highlighting the stories of Georgia through in-depth reporting and storytelling that helps answer questions and find solutions to issues.”

St. Claire spent more than a decade leading a team at CNNRadio in Atlanta, where she served as News Manager, Anchor, Coordinating Producer, and Southeast Correspondent during her tenure. St. Claire is credited with helping to conceive and produce CNNRadio News Day – a daily news podcast that grew to two million monthly downloads in less than a year. She also created and produced “Music Notes,” a bi-weekly program aimed at young, affluent listeners and supervised CNNRadio’s audio storytelling for platforms like CNN.com and CNN International.

“It is a thrill to join the GPB news team,” said St. Claire. “I'm very excited to roll up my sleeves and get busy as this next chapter of my career begins. During my time as the capitol reporter for GPB's ‘Lawmakers’ program, I was fortunate to get to know many of the extraordinary men and women who work hard every day to make GPB news programming a necessity for people all across the state. I'm honored to be a member of such a distinguished team and look forward to all the great reporting to come.”
