PANELIST: Janice Jensen

Television Producer and Media Consultant

Janice Jensen brings fifteen years of creating, developing, writing and producing to her projects. Genres include reality, documentary, high-end reenactment, sports and talk. One of her last major projects, Chasing Lance, was nominated for two Emmys, including “Best Sports Special.” The eight-hour mini-series for the Discovery Channel and HD Theater showcases the arduous training season of Lance Armstrong and Team Discovery during Lance’s final record-breaking Tour de France year.  Janice was the writer, supervising and exec-producer for the series. Also highly praised for its originality and entertainment value was the Animal Planet movie-documentary hybrid, Wildlife Wars. Janice exec-produced the two-hour special that reenacts the true cases of a retired game warden and federal agent. As co-executive producer and writer of Animal Planet’s one-hour crime reenactment series, Busted, Janice managed the show’s entire editorial process: case selection, first drafts, legal consultation, fact-checking, and final reenactment scripts.

Wildlife Wars and Busted allowed her career to come full circle.  Janice started out in television as a writer and producer of investigative stories and crime segments for Denver’s NBC news affiliate.  She received five regional Emmy nominations and two Emmy’s for in-depth news reporting, and two Edward R. Murrow honors.  Previously, Janice worked as a reporter and news anchor for three Colorado radio stations: KIUP (Durango), KDEN (24-hour news/Denver), KYBG (sports & news/Denver.) She left news in 1995, and applied her writing and producing expertise to behind-the-scene segments and film profiles for the movie channels, Encore and Starz.
