The editors, desk heads, and standards leads behind every story we publish. Our masthead is our public byline — and our accountability.
Last updated: April 2025
JAN TV is produced by a team of journalists, editors, and standards specialists who work across national, state, city, business, entertainment, sports, and digital desks. Every story that carries the JAN TV byline has been commissioned, edited, and fact-checked by named members of this team.
We publish this masthead so readers, sources, and subjects of coverage know exactly who is responsible for our journalism — and how to reach them.
