In the summer of 2008, Martinez was chosen for a three-month paid fellowship with ABC NEWS in New York City. He received training in ABC’s state-of-the-art digital bullpen and rotated between three of ABC’s digital properties: abcnews.com, ABC NEWS NOW and the World News webcast.

Also, Martinez had the opportunity to research, write, learn control room and studio procedures, and added to his shooting and editing skills. Martinez participated in several news division wide learning seminars throughout the fellowship.

After the Fellowship, ABC hired Martinez as a Desk Assistant and is currently in a staff position.

He works on ABC's overnight World News Now broadcsat as a producer and production support specialist. Martinez also updates the facebook fan page (totaling almost 15,000 fans): http://WNNfans.com
