Jenna Bush Hager launched her career as an author and media figure, making her initial foray into authorship with the 2007 publication of ‘Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope.’ This acclaimed work chronicled her experiences with UNICEF’s Educational Policy Department in Latin America, where she focused on educational initiatives in Panama, and dedicated a portion of its proceeds to UNICEF initiatives. Building on this literary debut, she co-authored ‘Read All About It!’ in 2008, a book aimed at promoting reading among children. Her expanding influence in media was further established in 2012 when she was appointed editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. Hager further solidified her presence in broadcast media, joining NBC News in 2009 as a correspondent for The Today Show.
Her influence continued to grow, culminating in a first-look deal with Universal Studio Group in 2022 to develop a diverse slate of projects across various platforms. This partnership marked a major expansion of her creative endeavors beyond her existing roles. In February 2023, Hager announced her third book, ‘Love Comes First,’ further solidifying her presence as a celebrated author and media personality. Expanding her reach into the audio landscape, she launched ‘Open Book with Jenna’ in September 2023, a podcast featuring in-depth interviews with authors.
Her ongoing work across television, publishing, and digital platforms positions Jenna Bush Hager as a prominent and versatile voice in contemporary media.
