What does a producer do?

“How did you get started in television?”
“If you work on the morning show, when do you sleep?” 

These are the most common questions people ask me about my job as a producer for 10News.  I started as an intern on the morning news with Bill Griffith and Lisa Lake in 1997.  After months of learning how to write stories, prepare scripts and review video, I was hired as a writer.  Eventually I became a producer, deciding which stories to run, booking live interviews and sending the crew to live shots.  During the show, I’m listening to my head-set in the control room and I keep the pace moving with the occasional “wrap it up”! 

Producing has its glamorous moments.  I’ve met dozens of celebrity guests including “The Fonz”, Henry Winkler, Jennifer Garner, and Rita Moreno.  When Disney opened its California Adventure theme park, James Quinones and I traveled to Anaheim to produce live weather segments.

Being a producer also has its challenges.  The 10News staff is constantly working to bring up-to-the-minute information to you at home.  Behind the scenes, that means we’re rushing to meet deadlines and verify facts.  We work long hours and some of us work overnight to make sure you wake up to the latest developments in San Diego and the rest of the world.

Whether it’s staying on top of the headlines or learning something new, I plan the show with the goal of informing and entertaining everyone at home.  At the end of the day, the effort pays off when I’m at the grocery store or the gym and someone mentions a great story we’re following on 10News!
