Joanne Levine has spent her career making sure people who aren't physically there, could still experience what happened there.

As founding head of programming for Al Jazeera English in the Americas, a producer for Nightline and ABC World News Tonight, and a Senior Advisor for Media at the State Department, she has worked across continents, cultures, and crises.

She speaks multiple languages. She has reported from conflict zones and sat with world leaders.

In this conversation, we talk about the craft of storytelling across formats, what it costs to translate one world for another, and what a person who has covered everything does, when the most interesting territory left is figuring out what comes next.
