Currently: webdev for a local business

Former: 6+yr TV news producer.

Former: 5+yr TV production/studio manager.

What does "producer" mean in this context?

I was directly responsible for the quality of multi-million dollar brands/(shows). In that role I was responsible for assigning reporters and photographers to work each day. I evaluate their progress regularly, edit the work they turn in (or make them), and also do original research and writing. Like a project manager, except I shipped every day at 6pm. I also did (very) little marketing work between producer jobs. Now I want a new job in a new career other than journalism. I've been working webdev for several months.

I went to school for compsci. About a decade ago. Sometimes I download VS and finagle with it, but never produce anything of value. I mess with HTML & CSS as part of my job now. A lot of it is actually different CMS like Amazon, eBay, Channel Advisor, etc.

Bonus: If you do something important. I'd love to feel as accomplished as I did when informing viewers about the world around them.
