The HEAT's Jason Jackson discusses his career ahead of being honored by the NABJ

Before being honored as the National Association of Black Journalists Sports Task Force Journalist of the Year, Jason Jackson sat down to discuss his journey to Miami, his approach to the craft and his advice to aspiring broadcasters.

Let’s start with the big question, why broadcasting? Where and when in your life did this become something that you wanted to do?

It was pretty simple. It was a decision made for me in many ways. I wanted to be a high-school American history teacher who coached baseball.
