AWARDS

Owner Jason Morris is proud to have won numerous awards over the years, including a Peabody, two Edward R. Murrow Awards, and eleven national Emmys (not to mention 29 additional Emmy nominations). 

However, the accomplishment he values most is ensuring clients are satisfied with the work and return year after year. In fact, most of his clients have been with him for decades and they are more like family than business associates.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

  • Here are some kind notes that clients have left for Jason after completing a job…

    Thank you again for all of your help.  I will never be able to repay you for what you did on Saturday.  Jose Morales called me yesterday and said, "You and Jason could have quit at 2AM and called it a night, but you stayed and made it great. That is why both of you are very good at what you do."

    I Just wanted to say great stuff on the MSU piece.  I know that took a lot of hard work and little sleep.  These are the pieces that make a difference!
     
    Jason Kostura

  • Tisha, Andy & Jason,
     
    Just want to congratulate you on the Rochester project.  I know there were many long days and nights spent on getting this pulled together.  But, I must say, it was all worth it.  This was a great example of tremendous reporting and production.  The digital piece, alone, got nearly 3 million page views. Wow. Just wow!  Thank you for all the hard work.  I'm so proud of the way this team rallied, took all the feedback in stride and produced one hell of a watch!
     
    Carolyn Hong

    Tim, Carolyn, Jason, Chris and Nicole,
     
    Dozens of folks at all levels had input into our work yesterday and it was a team effort, but I do want to specifically thank five behind-the-scenes people – Tim Hays, Carolyn Hong, Jason Morris, Chris Buckle and Nicole Noren.  Folks, when you came in to work Friday morning, you all had no idea you’d have to turn around multiple versions of this piece to air and publish the very same day.  It was a heckuva long day, perhaps one of the longest in some of your careers, but the product was worth it.  a shining showcase of the investigative reporting and story telling we ARE capable of producing.  This is serving our audience at its finest.
     
    Dwanye Bray
    Senior Coordinating Producer - ESPN


    Howdy,
     
    A few words of thanks...Jason Morris, our editor, is simply an animal; his tireless efforts were something to behold.
     
    Mark Fainaru-Wada
    Investigative Reporter - ESPN


    To each and every one of you:
     
    Thanks for stepping up this weekend to produce a timely, compelling hour of storytelling.  It was entertaining, emotional, informative & smart -- Sixty minutes that mattered.  I understand the personal sacrifices that were made to make it happen.  Thank you for your very best.
     
    Andy Tennant
    Executive Producer - ESPN


    To everyone on this email:
     
    Thank you for your hard work, quick response and willingness to help.  Today is a landmark day for our journalism.  We should all be proud.
     
    Ben Houser
    Executive Producer - ESPN


    Adding Jason Morris (to group e-mail):
     
    I don't think many people know how many long nights Jason pulled ... how patient he was... how hard he worked.  He was a rock star who made this piece look and sound beautiful... as terrible as the subject matter was.  Thanks, Jason!
     
    Carolyn Hong
    Coordinating Producer - ESPN


  • From a group e-mail:
     
    Got a note yesterday from a former colleague at ABC News some time after 6PM.  He said the entire ABC News room was riveted and watching the MSU coverage and features on Sports Center.  This is a newsroom preparing for their 6:30 evening news broadcast and historically not very interested in sports matters.  A small anecdote that shows the  power and importance  of your work.  The whole country is watching.
     
    Michael Baltierra
    Executive Editor - E:60


    Guys,
     
    Tremendous job on a powerful, emotional story today (Heart of a Tiger).  So well told, shot, edited.  You guys did those families and that boy proud.  Thanks for all your hard work over the past couple weeks and the tight turnaround to get the footage from this weekend, made GameDay look really good today.  Awesome job.
     
    Drew. Gallagher
    Coordinating Producer, ESPN


    Paula, Nicole and Jason,
     
    I know all the compliments have been circulating for days, but I have to tell you that I wanted to step back tonight and watch entire show again, just for fun and for perspective.  The reporting of course is phenomenal and it turns out the pieces are simply great TV!  Paula your interviews were great and your tracks were never better.  And Nicole, you and Jason really did a fantastic job in edit!  It moves and it was an absolutely riveting watch.
     
    Tim Hays
    Coordinating Producer - ESPN


    All,
     
    You should all be proud of the reporting and storytelling...proud of the high-end edit and production...proud of the collaboration and way the content is spread across our digital and social platforms.
     
    I'm proud to work with such a dedicated and passionate team.
