Kayce Freed Jennings
Co-Founder, Executive Vice President & Senior Producer
The Documentary Group


Kayce Freed Jennings is co-founder of The Documentary Group. Previously she was Vice President of PJ Productions, where she was also senior producer on documentaries including State of the Union and Out of Control: AIDS in Black America, a recipient of the George S. Peabody Award.

Kayce began her early career in the early 1980s at ABC News in London. It was there that she first worked with Tom Yellin and Peter Jennings, the veteran newsman who became her husband in 1997. A producer for Nightline, she covered Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In 1986, she relocated to ABC News' Atlanta Bureau, where she concentrated on the southern United States, the Caribbean, Latin America and national politics. Two years later, when World News Tonight with Peter Jennings launched its ground-breaking series, "The American Agenda," Kayce was one of its pioneering producers, focusing on social policy issues. The work received numerous awards.

She moved back to New York City in 1989 and in 1993, re-joined Tom Yellin as a producer on his prime time news magazine Day One. When Day One ended its run, Kayce moved to 20/20, working with anchor Barbara Walters and correspondents Lynn Sherr, Deborah Roberts, Bob Brown, among others. She left ABC News to help found PJ Productions and then, in 2006, The Documentary Group.

On today's program Kayce speaks with Angela McKenzie about the remarkable women in TV journalism who paved the way for her to have a successful and lengthy career in the industry; about some of her adventures and observations as an overseas journalist who witnessed some of recent history's milestones unfold; about the The Documentary Group's mission to produce engaging and edifying programs for a diverse audience and about her service to the not-for-profit organization Women In Need.
