HOUSTON (AP) - Jill Craig, a video producer at The Associated Press, is joining the cooperative’s bureau in Houston as a video journalist.
The appointment was announced Friday by Denise Vance, AP’s U.S. deputy of broadcast news, and Central Region Editor David Scott. Craig will begin work in Houston on April 21.
“Jill is a smart and versatile journalist with a strong history of aggressively chasing after distinct stories,” Scott said. “We’re thrilled to add her to our team in Texas, where she’ll join a staff of reporters who share her commitment to getting the news first and getting it right.”
As a video journalist, Craig will report primarily for the AP’s video and television report, working closely with Dallas-based video journalist John Mone.
Craig, 33, joined the AP as a video producer in 2013 in Washington, D.C., where she worked at the cooperative’s Broadcast News Center to edit and publish video stories for AP members and customers in the U.S. and abroad, as well as for AP’s online video service.
Among her more recent work was producing part of AP’s video report from the Winter Games in Sochi.
Prior to joining the AP, Craig was a freelance video journalist for CNN, Voice of America and other news outlets for three years in Kenya and Nigeria. She has a master’s degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State University.
