Jeremy Campbell is an Emmy award-winning reporter and documentary storyteller. He shoots, writes and edits his own stories. Campbell has worked as a "one person news crew" everywhere from the coast of California to the South Lawn of the White House to the Nile River in Africa.
Currently he's working as the first MMJ at WTVT. In Tampa his general assignment beat has taken him from crime scenes and the State Capitol to the Kennedy Space Center for the final space shuttle launch. He was among a small group of journalists selected by NASA to cover the landing from the shuttle runway. Campbell provided extensive coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting and rally, delivering reports to Tampa Bay and affiliates in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Memphis and beyond. His career reached a new height at FOX 13 when he fell 13,000 feet alongside the U.S. Army's skydiving team for a story.
Campbell was caught in one of 305 tornadoes that roared across the Southeast during the 2011 Super Outbreak. After enduring a direct hit he covered the damage with his iphone until he was able to connect with a news camera and a satellite truck.
Campbell's reporting career began with Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He was working behind-the-scenes at WGNO in New Orleans when he shot a documentary about life immediately after the storm. Campbell transformed that footage into a series of news reports that led to a Reporter/Anchor position in Lafayette, LA. At KLFY Campbell provided extensive coverage of the hurricane recovery effort along the Louisiana coast.
He's traveled extensively as a one-person crew. His series, "Stories from Uganda," was honored by the National Association of Black Journalists with its International Reporting award. He broadcast live from the Obama Inaugural in Washington D.C. and from both the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
Campbell is a five-time Emmy nominee, honored for reporting, writing, and editing. His first win was for photography. At WBMA in Birmingham, AL he won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Feature Reporting, and he was named "Best Reporter" in the state by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. Campbell also won awards from the Associated Press in Alabama and Louisiana, and from the Society of Professional Journalists in Florida.
Campbell graduated from Auburn University. While attending college he worked full time at WSWS-TV. He co-hosted "The Night Show," a talk show that was one of the first television programs also streamed online. The duo interviewed Cyndi Lauper, Liz Phair, The Flaming Lips, The Cardigans and many other entertainers on location in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Birmingham and New Orleans.
Off the air Campbell founded ten18films, a documentary production studio with a focus on Louisiana culture. The company was named New Orleans' "Best Hope" for Independent Cinema by Gambit Weekly, and Campbell was placed on its "Forty Under Forty" list. His documentaries include Chef de Riz (winner of the Telly Award for Reality Programming), Hexing a Hurricane, and Don't Worry Honey I Live Here. These films played in cinemas, on television, at film festivals and can be found in more than one hundred university libraries through a partnership with the National Film Network.
