Judging:
Jason Davis will again be judging this years contest. A renaissance newsman, Jason has won every major regional award for feature, documentary, investigative, and sport news — including the first Emmy awarded in 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS' history. He has also received several Emmys for the popular "5 On The Road" stories he continues to produce for his Sunday night weekly half-hour show, which premiered in January 2004. Ask Jason about his work and he says: "What I like most about this business is the ability to communicate with thousands, perhaps millions of people, with the creative freedom to interpret happenings or events in a way that is informative and entertaining."
Jason's reporting has taken him everywhere — to the North Pole with Minnesota explorer Will Steger, around the world with history-making sailor Gerry Spiess, to battlefields in Beirut, Kuwait and Iraq, and to the "out of this world" adventures of Minnesota astronaut "Pinky" Nelson. He has led news crews to more than 35 countries around the globe.
