Maybe a deep dive into these opportunists is called for: Instadocs: "Jane Doe v. Cornell" is a quick-turn production spearheaded by showrunner Steve Yaccino and production company Words + Pictures. The primary individuals sharing creative and operational responsibility for the project include: • Steve Yaccino (Showrunner & Executive Producer): Manages the day-to-day editorial direction of the episode. • Josh Tyrangiel & Connor Schell (Executive Producers): The founding media executives behind the Instadocs series concept. • Amel Guettatfi & Rakhee Jethwa (Supervising Producers): Directly overseen the journalistic research and field production for this installment. • Libby Geist, Aaron Cohen, and Alexa Conway (Executive Producers): The executive leadership team at Words + Pictures. The short-form documentary relies heavily on direct interviews with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Jane Doe's civil attorney Thomas Giuffra, and student editors Sophia Dasser and Cereese Qusba from The Cornell Daily Sun.
