Until recently, Gubar was the Vice President of News Narratives for Fusion, the English-language cable network owned by Univision. In this role, she served as Executive Producer for the award winning investigative documentary series The Naked Truth. The series has been honored with multiple journalism awards including the RFK awards, NABJ, and a National Headliner Award. The first season of the series is now available on Netflix.

Knight Fellowship at Stanford University.
