Discover Top Audio Storytellers in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA

Dynamic multimedia journalist, segment producer and TV contributor. I enjoy covering stories about underrepresented communities and highlighting social justice issues both locally and abroad. As such, I've covered the campaign to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18 in NY, which earned an award from the National Association of Black Journalists for best radio feature on a network. I've also covered anti-violence in NY, focused on the Brooklyn-based GMACC (Gangstas making astronomical community changes) which works with gang-affiliated youth to provide alternatives to violence; and community efforts to give people in food desserts healthy food options through aquaponics farms (Oko Farms) and cooking programs in Brooklyn (NEBHCO). Internationally, I've covered efforts to combat Trinidad and Tobago's surging murder rate through a youth spoken word program called the Roots Foundation.

First exposed to photography in the early 1980’s, I have always enjoyed capturing images of places I have been and places I want to remember and tell others about. It seems that the camera was always with me no matter where I went. On trips around the state or around the country, photographs documented my travels and memories. The pinnacle of my personal photography was between 2001 and 2005 where I had the unique opportunity to work and live in Antarctica. The amazing scenery and experiences there could only be told to others through photography. With the availability of email and internet I was able to share my adventure through digital images. In 2012 I was awarded a First Place award in News Photography from the New Jersey Press Association and a Second Place award in News Photography from the Pennsylvania Press Association. Journalism is a second career for me. I got my start in public safety and did that for 20 years before jumping over to journalism. I specialize in covering breaking and spot news especially in situations where there is heavy law enforcement presence and or interaction with firefighters or paramedics, which nowadays is just about every large event and or disaster. Speaking the “language” of public safety, understand what is happening I can read the environment and anticipate the pending actions. Having this edge helps me better cover the news and ultimately stay safe. My work has been published in local news papers like the Express-Times and national publications including the New York Times and the USA Today. Chris is a contract freelance photographer with Lehighvalleylive.com / The Express-Times, Associated Press, NBC News, ABC News, WFMZ-TV, WTXF Fox 29, WPVI 6ABC, New York Daily News, Reuters and the Allentown Morning Call.

As a television journalist, videographer and editor trained in investigative and field reporting, I have successfully produced award-winning stories for decade for multi-platform local and national news outlets. I grew up in New Jersey, where I read the news into my parents camcorder as a kid, so it's not surprising I wound up immersed in video production. Early in my career, I learned to pursue my instincts, rather than follow the pack. This gave me courage to leave my first news job out of college, as an assistant producer at Fox News Channel, to anchor for an online business news start up in the midst of an economic meltdown. This helped me jump into the world of on camera reporting. Over the past 12 years my career has evolved from an intern at NBC's Today Show to reporting for major-market newsrooms including PBS and PIX11. I've investigated rail safety in the wake of deadly crashes and revealed crossing equipment failures at one of the nation's largest transit agencies, prompting reparative action by lawmakers and the agency, as well as a nod from the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences. During my role as a correspondent for NJTV, I uncovered hundreds of deceased voters names still on the rolls and casting ballots. I've learned that successful stories come when you can pull the personal human experience out of the data and documents. Recently I forged a partnership that enables me to rebuild dilapidated housing in burgeoning areas of my home state, allowing me to further another passionate mission - entrepreneurship, economic development and beautifying neighborhoods in my home state. My career has afforded me the freedom to indulge in my passions for travel, wine collecting and cooking. Additional competencies: - Video & audio engineering - Video editing on Final Cut & Premiere - Image editing on Photoshop - Light coding - Web / social media

I'm going on 32 years old. I have no children and am unmarried. I love traveling and have very little fear when it comes to going anywhere or being around anything. I've lived in 4 states in the last 6 months. I moved to New York to pursue acting and have made an appearance in a movie and two television shows since being here. I'm not afraid to live rough and have once spent nearly ten months camping in the elements. January-October 2019. I'm intelligent and friendly. I love to engage people in thought provoking conversations. After watching the numbers reported by the media on the Corona virus I set out to find the truth. I spent a day on the streets doing interviews and taking my own polls. It was fun but not as exciting as I would have liked it to be. I would love to get involved with reporting. Give me 5 minutes of your time and I'll convince you I am the man for the job.
