John DeSoto  [Videographer/Producer/Editor]

I am a native Tucsonan and die-hard Arizona Wildcat fan, so there’s nowhere else I’d rather live than in the 520. I am a seasoned producer, editor, and videographer with 20+ years of experience across public media, education, and live news environments. My strategic and analytical skills add depth to a career already defined by creative excellence. I am comfortable with adapting workflows to meet changing technologies and audience demands while fostering mentorship and team growth. My calm and collaborative demeanor allows me to stay composed under the pressure of strict deadlines while simultaneously creating content at the highest level.

Throughout my career I've been awarded with:

​

13 - Regional Emmy Awards (Producer, Editor, Videographer)

6 - Edward R. Murrow Awards (Producer, Editor, Videographer)

2 – National NETA Public Media Awards (Editor, Videographer)

1 – National Edward R. Murrow Award (Producer)
