MARY CAROL BUTTERFIELD

ABOUT

I am passionate about telling stories that matter – stories that will engage, inform, and entertain an audience. With more than six years of experience at the national level, I excel in identifying compelling stories, generating engaging content, and managing

workflows from pitches through post-production.

Currently, I am a Field Producer for Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends." In my current role, I have honed my abilities to identify compelling content, develop pitches, and collaborate with teams across the network. Whether working with talent on location, directing the crew during a live show, or crafting engaging segments under demanding deadlines, I have consistently delivered high-quality work that engages our audience and elevates our brand.

As a field producer, I work closely with on-screen talent, brainstorming stories that fit their brand and supporting them throughout the creative process. For example, one of our anchors is a proud Texan. Despite always wearing his cowboy boots on air, he doesn’t get many opportunities in New York to tap into his roots. I pitched bringing him to the American Rodeo in Arlington where he got to show off his horsemanship live on air in what he described “as one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do.” I recognize that building a strong relationship with talent and understanding their interests and areas of expertise is key to delivering the best outcomes.

Over the past two years, I’ve focused on digital content, completing intensive social media training and helping launch the show’s TikTok account while reimagining its presence on Instagram, Facebook, and X. I have a deep understanding of the show’s brand voice and a proven ability to identify stories that resonate strongly with the audience.  Whether that is empowering them with the news they need to start their day – or making them laugh over their morning cup of coffee – I am proud to do work that makes a difference in people’s lives.  


I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Georgia in May 2018. Go Dawgs! The Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication prepared me for a career in gathering, analyzing and delivering the news on various platforms. In addition to my double-major in political science, I also earned a certificate in New Media to learn how to approach and harness the power of emerging media. ​​
