The Big Picture
Following stints as a producer at ABC, CNN and National Geographic, Park is now a senior producer at The New York Times, where she manages a field-reporting team and guides visual storytelling. It’s her job to not only commission and assign news stories, but to oversee her team throughout the editorial process. “I am always asking questions, making sure we’re getting the answers we need and talking to the right people. And so I serve as collaborator and editor,” says Park.
Even though Park never imagined she’d end up in her current role, she had an inkling that her English major would bolster her career pursuits. “At Bucknell, I really jumped full force into writing because I think good writing skills come in handy regardless of what you’re doing in this field,” she says.
