    Ep. 4: Jesus Ayala - How Producing Network News led to a New Calling in the Classroom

    Throughout his 17 years as a network news producer at ABC, Jesus Ayala, a first generation Latino-American journalist, covered too many big stories to mention in a short bio.

Today, while keeping his own health a priority, he's training the next generation of journalists as a professor at Cal State University, Long Beach, on not just the skills needed to succeed, but also the secrets he learned in navigating the industry.
