Peter Martinez, Jr.'s Summary
I'm a digital media specialist with a passion for visual storytelling and social media producing. I have advanced skills in High Definition news gathering, editing (Avid and Final Cut Pro) and online distribution.
My interest and drive in digital media and journalism has landed me a full-time staff position at the ABC News network in New York City. I oversee the digital properties of World News Now, America This Morning and TechBytes.
I work well under pressure in a network news environment where teamwork, professionalism and accuracy help make ABC's Early Morning News the most watched broadcast during our timeslot.
I've held major market internships back home in Southern California at the #1 rated TV stations KABC and KCET (formerly of PBS). I've also created a company called "rePeteProductions" which has produced high-end video segments.
Loyal, passionate, innovative, competitive and tireless are some of the words that describe my work ethic.
