Oh, baby! - Woman with local ties is producer on reality show By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times “I would be in the house with Jordan and Sasha, or I would watch from the monitoring room we had in one of the houses,” she said. “If they went to the grocery, a park or a playground, I would go there as well. As a producer, I followed Jordan and Sasha’s ups and downs. I also interviewed them, as well. I make sure to follow their story arc and get interview bites to help describe what they are going through physically and emotionally.”
As a producer, Ward says there is no such thing as a typical day at work. “But for ‘Baby Borrowers,’ our typical day on set started at about 7:15 a.m. and ended anywhere from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. That was for 18 days straight and each day was so different from the other,” she said. Ward also worked in the post-production of the show, which involved working with editors to help cut the show. “In post-production, we go through hundreds of hours of footage and narrow that down to a 42-minute episode,” she said. “It’s a lot of work and a lot of footage to sift through for only 42 minutes of airtime for each episode. Depending on the deadlines and airdates, I often work six- and seven-day weeks.” Her work as a television producer allows her the opportunity to travel. “Two weeks ago, I was in Yonkers, New York, working on a pilot about Yonkers police detectives. Last week I went to Miami to scout for a show about a mother and daughter. Last year I traveled to Virginia Beach, Las Vegas, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans, San Antonio, Dallas and Boise for shows,” she said. “It really is a great job to work as a producer on reality shows. I freelance, so I’m able to take time off when I want, often for a month or more.” Her parents, Dr. Stephen and Sue Ward, of Glasgow, are very proud of her accomplishments. “I think that’s a really good step for her,” said her dad. “We’re real proud of her.” He admitted he and his wife watch the credits at the end of any show their daughter has worked on to see if they can see her name. He was not surprised she chose to pursue a career in television. “I’ve got a brother who works for CNN. She didn’t want to go into news. She is doing real well with this and likes it real well,” he said. Ward is a 1994 graduate of Glasgow High School and a 1998 graduate of Indiana University, where she studied broadcast journalism.
