Shawna Thomas Biography

Shawna Thomas is the Washington DC Bureau Chief at VICE News, where she oversees politics and DC-based policy coverage for the HBO Emmy-winning weekly program VICE News Tonight. Thomas has led the show's main political coverage, including ground-breaking coverage of the Alabama special election and the 2018 midterm elections, as well as "She Running," a four-part documentary recorded in real time that tracked Democrat Katie Hill's victorious congressional quest. Thomas was also a senior producer on VICE News Tonight's Emmy-winning Charlottesville special episode. Shawna has covered the most critical events in recent memory as a journalist for VICE News Tonight, including President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un's summit in Singapore and the notorious Trump-Putin meetings in Helsinki. Shawna has also interviewed a number of the day's most prominent figures, including South Carolina Governor Tim Scott in a widely-quoted interview following Charlottesville, Senator Chuck Schumer for his exclusive announcement supporting marijuana decriminalization, and Cecile Richards as she announced her resignation from Planned Parenthood. Thomas worked as the senior producer and senior digital editor of NBC News Meet the Press before taking on the challenge of creating VICE News' DC Bureau. Her responsibilities there were twofold: she was in charge of the show's digital and social profiles, as well as the day-to-day operations for the broadcast. Prior to joining Meet the Press, she covered the White House Capitol Hill, assisted in the planning of NBC's Decision 2008 coverage, and reported on the Guantanamo Bay detainee tribunals.
