MARY COX, NEWS & MARKETING TRAINER

Mary is a speaker and trainer who teaches television news teams how to focus their producing, storytelling, and tease writing skills to get viewers to watch. Her workshops teach producers, reporters, and anchors how to identify stories that viewers want to watch, then tell those stories clearly and concisely while showcasing the strongest components.

Mary joined 602 Communications after 20-plus years as a news manager, producer and reporter in some of the nation's top newsrooms.

As a news director, Mary created a successful start-from-scratch newsroom at KNXV, the ABC affiliate in Phoenix. She oversaw day-to-day news operations at WSB in Atlanta as assistant news director and at KTSP (now KSAZ) in Phoenix as executive producer. She also produced newscasts at WCCO in Minneapolis.

Mary also worked as director of client services for Convergent Communications Consultants, where she tracked trends in television newsrooms, and recruited top news managers, producers and on-air talent.

Mary earned a master's degree in journalism and mass communications from Iowa State University, and a BA from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. She currently teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in the Department of Journalism and Communications at Webster University in St. Louis.
