'Mary Fifield is a former producer…and before that a most highly regarded director of information for ABC News…'

—The Washington Post

 

Ms. Fifield, a former journalist, has an extensive background in public policy, politics, government, and Public Relations. She has produced headline programming for the major American television networks, including 20/20 and World News Tonight for ABC News, Nightwatch with Charlie Rose for CBS News, and Nightly News for NBC. She also was producer of CBS’s award-winning public affairs program, Face the Nation.

Following network assignments in Washington, D.C., Manhattan, and Houston, Ms. Fifield spent three years in Rome, where she was a producer for CNN’s Headline News. She has extensive working relationships with broadcast and print journalists and commentators nationally and locally.

Ms. Fifield began her career as political press aide to presidential candidate George McGovern. She subsequently moved into the public sector as press secretary to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis before returning to politics as an assistant press secretary to presidential candidate Jimmy Carter.

Following several years of public and political service, Ms. Fifield was hired by Roone Arledge as Director of Public Relations for the re-vamped ABC News, where she devised and oversaw public introduction of such then-new programs as World News Tonight, 20/20, Nightline, and This Week With David Brinkley.

Ms. Fifield was Director of Government and External Affairs for Boston’s Artery Business Committee—an organization of Boston’s top 100 CEOs who support the completion of the $15.6 billion “Big Dig,” the largest public works project in the U.S.—for several years prior to joining ML Strategies, the public policy subsidiary of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., where she developed and managed crisis communications strategies for that firm’s clients.

She formed Mary Fifield Associates, a 20-person strategic communications firm, in 1995.

Ms. Fifield is the recent past President of the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus, and still a member of its board. She is also the Vice Chairperson of The Medical Foundation.
