For many years a foreign correspondent of ABC News (US), one of the early producers of All Things Considered at NPR, National Public Radio, and later the editorial director for live events within the BusinessWeek Group of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Shuster has conducted over 5000 live interviews of management leaders before audiences of their business peers at corporate, industry, professional, and governmental policy and investment events around the world.

Noticed at WTVT-TV by Florida native Deborah Amos of National Public Radio, Shuster was invited to move to Washington and join NPR where he became one of the early producers of All Things Considered evening news magazine program.

The program was to launch in 1987 and would feature news items produced by the (at that time largely government-owned) television broadcasters of a list of nations, eventually 150 countries.

Returning to the US, Shuster moved to New York to join McGraw-Hill's BusinessWeek magazine, then the world's leading global business news weekly publication.
