At PBS, Litoff spent six years as Executive Producer and Showrunner of Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, revitalizing the iconic franchise through newsmaking interviews, an innovative multiplatform strategy, and a renewed focus on civil dialogue. She also directed and produced the acclaimed 2024 documentary Counting the Vote and is currently spearheading the revival of PBS’s landmark Ethics in America series.
