Whether reporting for public radio, television or online, Joe Rubin brings his passion for innovative storytelling to every project he works on. iWitness, the webcam interview series he created and hosted for PBS's Frontline/World, won the 2009 Webby for the best online news and video series. As a video journalist, Joe helped usher in an era of backpack TV journalism, reporting from five continents for programs such as ABC's Nightline and PBS´s Frontline World. In the fall of 2012, Joe joined the staff of Civil Beat (an investigative journalism online journalism site in Hawaii) as the Director of Digital Media. Recently, Joe’s work has explored the future of energy and the political battles that erupt around crucial policy issues. A report he produced for Al Jazeera English looked at a showdown in California over its global warming reduction law. Last year, with the California based Center For Investigative Reporting, he produced two documentaries delving into nuclear power safety in the United States. Joe loves exploring intriguing places and cultures —these days that means sometimes packing Sippy cups for his two young daughters.
