Kaitlan Collins Interviews 4 Congresswomen on International Women's Day

As the producer for this interview, I was responsible for creative design of the shoot, I oversaw lighting direction and audio, and somehow managed to get four members of congress in and out of the shoot on time. I managed the media recording, ingest, and distribution of content and assisted our photojournalists with the technical set up and execution of the shoot.

Kaitlan Collins Interviews Senator Bernie Sanders

As the producer for this interview, I coordinated logistics with the Senator's staff and was responsible for media recording, ingest, and file management. I also led creative direction and set up of venue. I assisted our photojournalists with the technical set up of the shoot as well, helping with lighting direction and sound.

To assist Kaitlan, I made sure she had all of the files and information she needed for a successful interview. I managed the time of the interview and gave time cues in order to stay within our allotted 15 minutes.

Laura Coates and Paula Reid Remote Anchor on Major Supreme Court Decision Day

Supreme Court decision days are particularly challenging to produce as we receive and report information in real time, without the comforts of being in-studio.

Producing in this environment requires the ability to read and understand major Supreme Court rulings quickly and accurately, printing and annotating documents and relaying information to on-air talent. In this case, many of the quotes I highlighted in the Court's decision were used in on-air fullscreen graphics.

This is, of course, in addition to the regular duties assumed by field producers, including coordinating logistics, managing live transmission routers, communicating between the assignment desk, show teams, and beat leaders, and most importantly, keeping on-air talent fed, caffeinated, and ready for show.

A Collection of Live Shots

As a general assignment field producer, every day presents a new opportunity to learn something, meet someone, or go somewhere new.

Producing live shots in a dynamic live news environment, things change constantly, without warning, and often for reasons well beyond our control. Being flexible and adaptable is a must.

I've had the privilege of working with so many reporters, correspondents, and anchors throughout my time in news. I'm grateful to every single one of them.

Here are the highlights of a career well spent.

My Reporting

As a general assignment producer, I've covered so many different types of stories. Floods, plane crashes, sex scandals, you name it, I've covered it. I've corresponded with the office of almost every member of the President's Cabinet, chased members of Congress down the halls of the US Capitol, attended court proceedings at all levels, and spent way, way too much time on Twitter.

The skills I've developed throughout my career as a journalist are invaluable - news judgement, critical thinking, writing, patience, dogged persistence - and have forced me to overcome the fear of the millennial generation: phone calls. So. Many. Phone calls.

Below, in no particular order, is a collection of some of my work.

Enjoy!
