Jayne worked at The Washington Post from 2011-2023. Most recently, she was a Senior Producer overseeing foreign, national and local video. She has also covered Capitol Hill, food, travel and climate. She worked with reporters, designers, photo editors, animators and print editors across the newsroom to produce multimedia stories.

From May to September 2022, Jayne directed the video production for interviews with 16 current and former Black NFL head coaches across the country. The resulting project, “The Ones Who Made It”, features short interview soundbites from coaches on their careers and why they believe it is so difficult for Black coaches to get hired for the top roles on NFL teams. The story won an Edward R. Murrow Award for Sports Reporting.
