You know, they're like editors for broadcast, but different. Get help from two advisers (Jesse Sutherland and Matt Rasgorshek) who have explored what "producer" should truly mean. We'll talk roles, responsibilities, expectations, and workflow. And no, we won't actually beat anyone up ... promise. This presentation was given at the 2013 JEA/NSPA Fall Convention in Boston, MA. Jesse Sutherland and Matt Rasgorshek, along with their producers Caroline Luther (WTV EP), Emily Glazer (WTV EP), Lily O'Brien (WKHS-TV EP), and Nicole Piette (WKHS-TV AP).
