Adam Lingo Lead Senior Editor, National Geographic

Currently a Lead Senior Editor at National Geographic, Adam Lingo is an experienced documentary editor that embraces the collaborative process. He values the teamwork, culture, process, and sausage-making in the filmmaking journey as much as the final product. Adam is excited to work on projects which challenge & explore our shared humanity. His editing credits include: Great Books: The Autobiography of Malcolm X (2000 Emmy nomination), 180 Days: A Year Inside an American High School (2014 Peabody award), numerous videos for the permanent display of the National Museum of African American History & Culture (2016), PBS Frontline: The Healthcare Divide (2021 Peabody & Emmy nominations), several shorts for Unladylike2020: Unsung Women Who Changed America (2021 Silver Telly, Webby), and National Geographic’s Black Travel Across America (2023 VICtor award). As a committed father & husband he has produced plentiful family photos & footage which sadly remain largely unedited to this day.
