Bruce fills the position left vacant by Al Corral, who takes over the news responsibilities for Telemundo in Los Angeles. Among his many career awards, Bruce has received two Los Angeles Golden Mikes for outstanding reporting at KCET and a 2000 Emmy nomination for best investigation. This year, he is nominated for two Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards in the categories of Information Segment and Non-News Writer.
Public television is one of the last great venues for journalists who truly love storytelling.
One of Bruce's first responsibilities will be to administer a collection of election specials focusing on the local races. Produced by Linda Burns and hosted by veteran LA newsman Jess Marlow and award-winning journalist Val Zavala, the program is made possible by major grants from The James Irvine Foundation and The L.K. Whittier Foundation. A Spanish simulcast, available through the SAP function, is supported through a generous grant from the California Community Foundation.
