Former NAHJ president Cecilia Alvear just wrapped up a month-long assignment in Ecuador. She was there to help produce the Today show’s “ends of the earth” special coverage. For two days, NBC broadcast live remotes from Greenland, Antarctica and the Equator.
Cecilia retired from NBC News in February. The network called her back on the job when it decided to have weather forecaster Al Roker in Ecuador for the two days of broadcasts.
