About the panelists
JANE JANKOVIC, Executive Producer, TVO
TVO commissions 40-50 hours of original content per year, both one-off documentaries and factual series, that focus on contemporary social issues of direct relevance to Canadians, especially in Ontario. Before commissioning long-form docs, Jane produced a live daily current-affairs program for 12 years and before that worked on feature docs and television programming with independent production companies in Toronto. Jane has been commissioning docs and series for TVO since 2007.
