Giovanni Moujaes is a first-generation Italian-Lebanese American journalist and news leader. He is currently the product manager at inewsource in San Diego.

From video production to product strategy

I’ll be the first to tell you that my decade-long career in journalism hasn’t been predictable or linear. What started as a focus on visual storytelling morphed into a passion for content strategy and later product management. I’ve helped lead major breaking news events like regional wildfires and mass shootings, and built product experiences with accessibility and audience engagement in mind. I’m an “expert generalist,” and my love for emerging tech like AI keeps things interesting.

Notable numbers

  • The number of explanatory videos in the OJA-winning series, “Turning Tides: The Story of the Salton Sea,” that Giovanni lead produced and edited.

  • The age Giovanni was hired as a photojournalist at the San Diego Union-Tribune, effectively starting his professional news career.

  • The percent decrease in bounce rate at inewsource following the launch of a new site design and several new integrations aimed at accessibility and audience engagement.

  • The percent increase in KTLA YouTube subscribers over one year after implementing a new content strategy that led to multiple appearances on the “Trending” page.

In pursuit of the adventure. Ready for the challenge.
