  • *Oral History Bio Janice Tomline
    Oral History – Janice Tomlin December 1, 2014 By Amanda Ogle, Lauren Levine, Ashlea Sigman and Brianna Vela Janice Tomlin is a network television documentary producer, who began her career in Dallas. Born in Arkansas, her father’s job took the family to New Jersey when she was seven, then to Houston and ultimately Dallas. After graduating from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, she interned at the Dallas Times Herald and worked as a freelancer for D Magazine, writing several investigative pieces. With hopes of writing for Time or Newsweek, Tomlin moved to New York City but was offered an investigative position at the Better Government Association. The non-profit partnered with national print and television networks and Tomlin was assigned to ABC’s 20/20. After assisting on two shows, Tomlin was hired directly by 20/20. She produced segments for 20/20 for 12 years before being named Senior Editorial Producer and moved to management. In that role, Tomlin helped create and launch ABC’s Turning Point, and hour-long documentary show anchored by Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Peter Jennings and Meredith Vieira. Before leaving 20/20, Tomlin was home on Christmas Day, 1989, when Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife were assassinated. After seeing a short story about French families whose Romanian adoptions had been frozen by Ceausescu, Tomlin believed there were American families in the same predicament and pitched the story to 20/20. What followed would be a series of nine Emmy-winning stories over a period of 12 years that would expose the conditions of Romania’s state-run orphanages and secret institutions for handicapped orphans.
