During her
extensive journalism career, Jacqueline Jimenez says nothing motivated her more
than solving community matters through the media. She says there are stories to discover all
around us, where we live, work, serve and worship. She has been a writer and
television news producer for over 25-years, working for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox
affiliates. She served as a production
coordinator for the TV Guide Channel and for various production companies as a
freelancer, producing documentaries, in-depth profiles, commercials and
corporate videos.
In one of her favorite projects, she wrote
and produced a corporate video for Sony, which was shown at the South by
Southwest Film Festival, in Austin, Texas.
It featured how directors and producers could create movies on their
laptops at home. Her most extensive
production, was for the Community Assessment Service Centers (CASC), in
California. She interviewed 48 people,
then wrote and produced a corporate video that was shown to legislators to try
and expand those centers across that state.
Her work in
the community, led to two positions at CBS4 in Miami, where she had the unique
opportunity of being the segment producer of the then public affairs show
"4 Sunday Morning," with Eliott Rodriguez. The show was awarded an
Emmy for its series on "Unity 4 the Community." At the same time, she was the field producer
for "Neighbors 4 Neighbors," a non-profit organization born out of
Hurricane Andrew, which operates out of CBS4.
It was during her time there that she began to master the ability to identify
news stories particularly in businesses, non-profits and service organizations,
then share their stories with a newsworthy edge. An edge that often-earned top spots in the
newscasts.
Jacqueline
knows the dynamics of the newsroom, how it operates, what a press release
should say and who should receive it. She knows, because she was the one
receiving those press releases and determining whether to cover that story.
There are so many great stories to be told, and you're the person to do it. Let
her show you how!
