I like to describe the Assignment Desk as air traffic control! It is crazy busy, stressful and demanding. We set our crews up for success, ensuring they have the tools to do live reports from wherever the day takes them. We are responsible for staying on top of the constantly changing and competitive landscape of breaking news. We make sure our crews are on the best, breaking and most meaningful stories of the day with all the resources they need to deliver accurate, compelling reports. I leverage more than two decades in the Boston TV News market. During this time, I have established reliable and trusted sources and contacts to assist with breaking news in real time.
