MONTCLAIR NEWS LAB
January 2020 - December 2020
Montclair News Lab is an award winning magazine show that airs weekly on Montclairnewslab.tv and Channel 34 Montclair Local Access. News Lab consists of original journalism, reporting and in-depth interviews. As a Senior Producer, my role consisted of advising and leading the content creation, script writing and editing process. When the pandemic sent us virtual, I was in charge of shifting in-studio and control room operations to an entirely remote production, as well editing and approving individual scripts, pieces, and the entire program before airing.
Here are just some of the 21 episodes I've produced as a Senior Producer of Montclair News Lab.
