Anya Bourg
Producer
Anya Bourg is a producer and journalist who has been making films for FRONTLINE since 2014. Most recently, she produced Netanyahu, America & the Road to War in Gaza, Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover, and Age of Easy Money, FRONTLINE's most-streamed documentary of 2023. Prior to that she won an Emmy for Amazon Empire, a two-hour film that investigated how Jeff Bezos transformed Amazon from an online bookseller into a business empire that is unprecedented in its size and reach. She won a duPont and a Peabody award for The Facebook Dilemma, a two-hour investigation that traced how the social media giant departed from its idealistic origins to become an international platform for political disinformation and division. She has also produced films for FRONTLINE about the rollback of environmental protections and the challenge of police reform.
Prior to joining the FRONTLINE team, Anya spent almost a decade at 60 Minutes, working on stories that ranged from drug-related violence in Mexico to the destruction of coral reefs to the lack of accountability for prosecutors accused of misconduct.
Bourg has also worked in radio, reporting a one-hour documentary for NPR’s This American Life. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
