PBS and GBH’s ‘Frontline’ Hires Brian Eule As Its New Managing Director (EXCLUSIVE)

As a supporter of quality journalism and someone who has seen firsthand the impact it can have on shaping public discourse and driving social change, I am thrilled to welcome Brian Eule to his new role as managing director of “Frontline.” With his extensive background in philanthropy and communications, particularly in the realm of investigative journalism and supporting underrepresented voices, he brings a unique perspective and valuable expertise to this esteemed organization.


Brian Eule has been appointed as the new managing director for “Frontline,” an acclaimed PBS documentary series created by Boston public radio station GBH. He is taking over from Janice Hui, who previously held this position but has now moved on to become the COO of ITVS, relinquishing her role at “Frontline.”

At “Frontline,” Eule will be in charge of managing day-to-day business activities and developing long-term plans. He will answer to the editor-in-chief and executive producer of “Frontline,” Raney Aronson-Rath.

As a cinema devotee and avid follower of news, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the recent appointment of Brian to lead “Frontline’s” business team and strategic initiatives. With his profound background in philanthropy and communications, and his deep-rooted belief in journalism’s significance in our democratic society, he is the ideal candidate for this role. I can’t wait to witness the positive impact he will bring to “Frontline,” starting in September.

Eule previously worked for nearly ten years at the Heising-Simons Foundation, serving as their journalism and communications chief. In this role, he was a key member of their leadership team and corporate officer. He initiated and managed their journalism grant program, which provided funds for investigative reporting and represented underrepresented perspectives in mainstream media.

In his impressive resume, Eule takes pride in establishing and managing the American Mosaic Journalism Prize. This prestigious award grants two dedicated freelance journalists an annual stipend of $100,000 to recognize their exceptional work in long-form, narrative, or investigative reporting on underrepresented or misrepresented communities within today’s American society.

In my opinion, there isn’t a more exceptional journalism organization than Frontline in existence today. The prospect of joining this esteemed team, with its impressive legacy of delivering high-caliber journalism, fills me with excitement and realization of a long-held dream. I eagerly anticipate collaborating with the brilliant minds that make up Frontline’s staff.
