Working with Jake on regular breaking news assignments was always a pleasure because you knew he was dependable, resourceful and motivated. Whether gaining clearance for material, finding video or simply overseeing the logistics of live coverage, Jake always managed to juggle multiple tasks with both ease and efficiency.

Over the past year I’ve developed a strong working relationship with Jake. He is the kind of assignment editor that not only chases stories he is after but doesn’t hesitate to share with his affiliate assignment editors. This two way dialogue between us has made him a key ally in times of breaking news on either side of the U.S./Canada border. Jake understands that the news gathering process is evolving with the likes of social media but never lets these new methods compromise his stringent journalistic guidelines. Whether it’s responding to a tweet, picking up the phone or answering an email; Jake understands that the news never stops and I know he can always be trusted to be there when needed, on the clock or not.
