Managing Editor Standards and Practics

Professional Bio
I have been Managing Editor Standards and Practices at NPR since December of 2021 at which time they summed up my career as follows:
I came to NPR from CBS where I was the acting director of standards and practices and has had a broad mandate to support and enforce standards across the organization. For most of the past few years, he also jointly held the title of Foreign Editor Hard News.
Prior to those senior leadership roles, he was a deputy foreign editor, and senior producer of CBS Newspath, and assignment manager at CBS Telenoticias in Miami, which broadcast to Latin America.
Before joining CBS, Tony held several roles at Reuters in D.C., Miami, and LA, including as Senior Producer for Latin America in charge of all television coverage of the region. He has also been a bureau manager for TV 3 Television of Catalonia, and for five years early in his career he was a freelance producer, reporter and fixer in Managua, Nicaragua. He is fluent in Spanish.
During his distinguished career, he has worked on an extraordinary array of major national and foreign stories from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina to presidential campaigns and summits, to international crises such as the 1997 hostage crises in the Japanese Embassy in Peru. His experience and language skills make him particularly well suited to guide NPR's journalists on standards and practices.
