During the pandemic, when it was difficult to report abroad, he turned his focus to social justice issues in the US, including a two-part series on Native American land buybacks, a look at the failed promise of social equity in Massachusetts’ cannabis legalization and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 in Maine’s Black community.

Prior to his work for the NewsHour, Jason produced major programs for Now on PBS and HDNet World Report on UN peacekeeping in the Congo, the Nashi youth movement in Russia, the rise of the Indian middle class, and the 2008 Russia-Georgia conflict. “Uganda’s Silent War”, which Jason wrote, produced, shot and edited in 2007, won the Robert F. Kennedy Award, a First Place National Headliner Award and earned two Emmy Nominations.

In 2006, Jason developed and served as editorial producer on a duPont award-winning documentary for the New York Times on nuclear proliferation. In 2004, he traveled to the Darfur region of Sudan to report for the CBS News 60 Minutes on the humanitarian crisis there. While based in Southeast Asia in 2002, Jason produced, shot and edited “A Dirty War” for PBS NOW with Bill Moyers on the civil war in Aceh, Indonesia. In 1999, he produced his first independent documentary while on an International Reporting Project fellowship in Guinea-Bissau.
