Jason Morrell

Morning Managing Editor

Jason Morrell is the managing editor for mornings at Straight Arrow News, where he drives editorial across digital and video platforms.

With 25 years in the business, heโ€™s built flagship shows, led breaking news coverage, and reimagined storytelling at CNN US, CNN International, and Scripps News. Heโ€™s known for shaping sharp, high-impact content that cuts through the noise โ€” always with clarity, creativity, and a feel for what the audience actually cares about.

Originally from North Carolina, Jason settled in Atlanta after college and, aside from a quick California detour, never really left. When heโ€™s not chasing stories, heโ€™s wrangling dogs, corralling chickens, or making peace with a temperamental Jeep.
