Biography

Entelis was born Amy Lynn Radwell, the daughter of Jeanne and Louis Radwell.[2][3][4] Entelis earned a B.A. from Vassar College, a M.S. in journalism from Columbia University.[1]

After school, she worked at ABC News as a producer for the weekly news magazine 20/20 and then as a producer at World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.[1] She spent 30 years at ABC in varying roles culminating in being named senior vice president for talent strategy, development, and research where she managed the recruitment of journalists and hosts for ABC programs including Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Nightline, and 20/20.[1] At ABC she received numerous awards including the National News Emmy, the DuPont-Columbia Award, the Front Page Award from the Newswomen's Club of New York, the Headliner Award, and the Planned Parenthood Award.[1] In 2012, Entelis joined CNN. During her tenure, CNN has launched three new premium content brands: CNN Films (which either co-produces or acquires documentary films); CNN Films Presents (which acquires and broadcasts encore runs of documentary films); and CNN Original Series (which develops non-fiction series).[1][5] She is credited with shifting CNN away from a breaking news channel to a more broad-based channel developing programs such as Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain and United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell.[6]

She serves as a member of the Board of Visitors of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.[1]
