Welcome to the PIT List!

I'm a network field producer who also worked in local tv as a line producer and field producer. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to work with super people. Now I'd like to pass along what I know and rant a tad.

I check it sporadically, but I love answering emails, so if you have an issue or difficult person you need help with, don't hesitate to shoot it my way.

Memorial Day

Holidays are typically both short on staff and news. You can go to the Memorial Day event and do the same old story or go to the same event and find one person who will make it truly meaningful. Chat people up at the event. Follow them home. Get old pictures. See how their story now compares to their story then.

Russian poet Yevengy Yevtushenko said "Every man has a story to tell." This is my motto. There are thousands of ordinary people who have made extraordinary sacrifices. Find one. Tell their story today on a day when you have the time and space to do so.
