ENDORSEMENTS  BY  ANCHORS  AND  REPORTERS

"Teresa is an outstanding journalist, the best I'd known. She was the key person in the production and the success of the documentary we did at CNN on the Missing (Desaparecidos) people in Latin America. The film won the duPont Award from Columbia University in New York for excellence in investigative reporting", Jorge Gestoso, CNN en Español anchor for 16 years.
 
“Working with Teresa means working with a real professional.  She is editorially sound, extraordinarily creative and anchoring shows produced by her inspires confidence. Teresa field experiences are crucial in informing the story selection and understanding the fine nuances of complex but significant stories CNN covers.” Zain Verjee, Anchor, CNN International.
 
"Teresa is a very focused well rounded television producer, who is involved in every aspect of the programmes. She has always shown a staunch commitment to service the CNN audience's needs. Teresa's multicultural professional background positions her at the top in this competitive journalism world." Guillermo Arduino, Anchor, CNN en Español and CNN International.
 
"Knowing that Teresa is in charge of a program or is my field producer means that, as a presenter, I never have to worry. She's calm, determined, innovative, passionate and a joy to work with". Owen Thomas, Presenter, Bloomberg Television.
 
“I
have the best memories from the time I worked with Teresa. She’s always had a vast knowledge of international stories, a good editorial judgement and the ability to look at stories in an analytical way. Her passion for journalism is inspiring. Teresa is also very organised and has a commendable ability to adapt to changing and stressful situations characteristic of our job. Whoever works with Teresa will find in her an experienced, committed, responsible and enthusiastic professional. Patricia Janiot, Anchor, CNN en Español.
 
“Teresa is a dynamic, hard-working, determined and highly experienced producer with a good eye for telling stories. While working very effectively within the boundaries of a highly structured news machine, she is never afraid to make her own judgements and apply them. That said, she is good at taking advice and using feedback to improve her work. She is a pleasure to work with.” Charles Hodson, Business Anchor, CNN International.
 

I worked as a producer at CNN for 10 years (2000-2010). Prior to that, I was a producer at the largest news network in Argentina. Highlights of my career include the duPont Columbia Award -equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize.


I have covered the most important events of the past decade, for both the Spanish and the English speaking markets. I have produced documentaries, daily news shows, weekly talk shows, news specials, and special projects. I have on-air experience, as well as extensive experience in the field.


As a TV producer I had to build a daily communication strategy for each show and for each story within the show. The key was knowing the information inside out, having a thorough understanding of the audience, and being creative while making the best out of the resources available. The goal was to engage a diverse international audience, with 100% exposure and no room for mistakes. My responsibilities also included looking after the anchor’s image.


I was the leader of a transatlantic editorial and technical team. My personal communication skills had to be extremely precise and assertive to ensure everybody was on the same page to produce the desired results.


I left CNN in August 2010 and I am now working as a Media Coach, Communication Consultant and freelance reporter.

“Teresa is a very well organised and creative producer. She is always able to take the extra mile for fare, balanced and compelling stories. During the years we worked together at CNN Teresa put special care in the flow of her shows with stories the audience wanted to know about. It was a great experience to work with Teresa.”

Daniel Viotto, CNN en Español Anchor for 14 years.

 
“Teresa is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During her tenure at CNN, I cannot remember an instance in which she missed handling the coverage of a story in a rapid, effective, and calmly manner.
Teresa is a resourceful, creative, and solution-oriented person who was frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to handling different situations in a newsroom. She will function extremely well as a team leader when required, and she also worked effectively as a team member under the direction of other team leaders. Her bilingual and multicultural background make her a great asset to the World News Network (CNN).”

Viviana Fernández, CNN en Español Anchor for 15 years.
