ABSTRACT
Every newsroom does not have a special project producer. Every newsroom that does may have different duties for their special projects producer. To sum up line producing: producers have a daily deadline – the show goes on no matter what. Line producers are in constant communication with field crews, assignment desk, editor, technical media operator and newsroom managers to research content, write compelling and informative stories as well as showcase content for a daily live newscast. When the readers compare that to special projects producing the deadline can vary. Depending on the project, the producer has a longer timeline to complete goals. The producer also must work with other departments like promotions, graphics, and production. That’s in addition to working with newsroom co-workers as well. Special projects producers have the luxury of spending more time on content to make it “special.”.
