Former NPR Senior Editor Sara Sarasohn describes Norris this way: “Kyle Norris is the real deal. I've heard a lot of voices in my 25 years in public radio. None is warmer, more expressive or more natural than Kyle's. He has this innate intimacy that invites the listener into a story in a totally welcoming way. That carries over into his interviewing. Kyle has such an ability to get the perfect quote that goes beyond the superficial. From government officials to kids in an art class, Kyle connects with the people he talks to, and that's a gateway for the audience to connect as well.”

For over a decade, I’ve been lucky enough to work across many areas of the media industry. It has groomed me to excel in all aspects of visual storytelling seeing deadline-driven projects from development through final delivery of assets including pitching, writing, budgeting, field producing, directing, shooting, editing, project management, and publishing with digital asset management systems. It all started at CBS in 2009 paving the way for how the venerable news network broadcasted to a new audience online. At that time, CBSNews.com was ahead of the curve as my team developed the most optimal ways to package television content online from shows such as 60 Minutes, Sunday Morning, and 48 Hours. I was also fortunate enough to work on a live digital show with Katie Couric and produce a streaming simulcast to The Early Show. The hands-on experience and skills I gained over the years at CBS allowed me to join CNN as that network began to reinvent its digital presence. The reach of CNN ramped everything up for me as the projects I worked on received higher budgets and were seen by many more people. This also is where I started to develop more of my project management skills working in sponsored content. The series under this department operate under deadlines set by clients requiring a higher level of production quality and strict delivery schedule both online and on television. Along the way I have been awarded with numerous accolades including an Emmy nomination, Eppy awards and special recognition from the Webbys. The best part of my job is hitting publish and broadcasting a piece I poured my heart and mind into. I never want to stop creating and sharing my passion with the world.

A media professional with more than 17 years of experience finding, crafting and editing stories -- including work in newspapers, radio, television and online news. As Executive Producer for Digital Media, I managed a team of five producers and four digital assistants creating content that recruits viewers to KIRO 7’s digital platforms, including our website, Facebook page, channels on Amazon Fire and Apple TV, and the KIRO 7 News apps. That role included creating and editing video for each of our platforms, planning and executing social media strategy, and coordinating all livestreams. Doubled KIRO’s daily traffic average in the first year, launched KIRO’s Smart TV apps and our Roku platform became the top local news station on that platform worldwide. Awards include a 2014 Emmy Award for political coverage, a 2017 Emmy for team coverage and a 2018 Emmy Award for crime coverage. As a reporter, I was among the handful selected to transition the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper into Seattlepi.com. Roles were often self-initiated, including video and audio projects. I also oversaw the vast P-I archives and coordinated the partnerships that led to preservation at the Museum of History and Industry and the Seattle Public Library’s Seattle Room. As a reporter at the P-I’s print edition, I crafted thousands of stories by building a network of diverse sources, including confidential sources, public officials, law enforcement officers, sports figures, historians, archivists, and trusted community leaders. After the mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, I was selected along a handful of Hearst journalists to tell the stories of Sandy Hook. Stories ran in the network of Hearst Newspapers and news websites, and my contributions included text, video and photos. Additional experience includes a nightly news segment on KIRO Radio, a Seattle history podcast for Seattlepi.com, work at KJR AM and FM in Seattle, overseeing the KIRO 7 archives and creating a partnership to digitize and preserve those through the University of Washington Special Collections. Undergraduate degree is in Business Administration – Marketing.

Andrew Stanbridge has been traveling and photographing throughout Southeast Asia for the past 15 years. His first work documented the continuing modernization of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which continues to be a theme that he returns to frequently. While traveling through these countries (particularly Cambodia and Laos) his interest was piqued by the histories of conflict that his own home country of America had been involved in and the recovery from the aftermath of these conflicts. For the past 5 years he has concentrated on this theme by addressing the physical, emotional and cultural scars left from the various wars fought in these countries. During this time he has spent time clearing and photographing unexploded ordnance, gone on patrol with ragtag armies and spent countless hours hearing the stories of those whose lives have been affected by the vestiges of war. These people include sex workers, rice farmers, politicians and others whose stories beg to be told, but who have b
