Michigan Town Hall Live & Election Night 2010 Live
Producer, Director, Graphics & Editor

I coordinated a live to cable and internet Town Hall forum with state and local politicians, live studio audience questions, live phone calls, and Twitter/Facebook comment interaction. Episode topics ranged from Medical Marijuana to the Film Tax Incentive and included prep of video packages culled from Oakland Press reporter footage.

Election Night coverage expanded to three hours from the Oakland Press newsroom and coordinated live interviews and regular updating poll returns. I established workflows for remote reporters to Skype-in video from party headquarters and precinct halls and devised updatable poll graphics using Apple Keynote. Additionally, the program was simulcast live on WADL-TV 38.
