I've admired Trish's abilities as a broadcast news professional for years. She's a strong, quick, no-nonsense writer who knows how to pick up and transmit an editorial "voice, tone and attitude." And she's utterly unflappable under deadline pressure. We worked together at CNN during its formative phase, when all hands behind the scenes did the work of three people each, and when I was directing Face the Facts USA at The George Washington University I was lucky to retain Trish as our primary writer for web copy. You can see her work throughout facethefactsusa.org. It's succinct, grabby, and accessible. Trish is a solid, trustworthy wordsmith and she's very much at ease with both broadcast and new / social media environments. With equal ease, she can knock out a great tweet, an anchor tease, a magnetic email subject line that demands to be opened, or a detailed "explainer" of a complex topic. And when a TV control room threatens to slide into chaos, Trish is the kind of producer you want in there to stabilize things; she's a wise and serene influence. Congratulations to you if you're as fortunate as I was, and get to retain Trish Chicca for your editorial team.

Having worked with her and having been her immediate supervisor at CNN’s Washington News Bureau for a number of years, I wholeheartedly recommend Trish Chicca. As a news journalist Trish is rock solid, consistently upholding standards of fairness and accuracy, and exercising excellent judgment in deciding when reporting is ready for air and when it is not. I have seen her perform with effectiveness and efficiency as a writer, copy editor and producer. Trish has always been focused on maintaining the highest standard of credibility in reportage, while striving to enhance production value and competitive message delivery for the news audience. As a broadcast news producer Trish works quite well in a control room setting, whether she is leading the charge or in a supporting role. She possesses a veteran’s good sense when it comes to establishing priorities, effectively directing her energies and those around her to meet coverage goals, often under pressure. In her dealings with the various contributors to team production, be they on air talent, control room, or show team members, Trish has proven an efficient communicator who gets her message across quickly and precisely. I have personally felt quite confident in having her on my team in numerous coverage scenarios. When it comes to work ethic, Trish has always proven a reliable and responsible individual. She pulls together with the team, and has often been known to take on additional duties at the drop of a hat if that is what the group’s goals require. While her efforts in meeting those goals are focused and complete, Trish is known to be a friendly and collegial person. And with the grace of a true professional she has taken many a junior colleague under her wing, effectively mentoring the next generation of news journalists and producers. It is my pleasure to endorse Trish Chicca, both as an individual and a professional. Sincerely, Mike Maltas Broadcast News Producer (former) Director, Live Production CNN Washington, DC
