Reliable, dedicated, and results-driven.

My name is Jerry Mccormick. I’m an Emmy winning producer and communications professional with 30 years of combined experience in broadcast, print journalism, and public relations.

Today, I work as a Senior Public Information Officer for the City of San Diego. My job is to manage the media coverage for the City’s economic development department.

In additional to my role with the City, I’m educating the next generation of journalists. Starting in Fall 2020, I will be teaching T.V., writing, and producing as part of San Diego State’s Journalism and Media Studies department.

At KOIN I oversaw the station’s morning broadcast and lifted that broadcast from fourth place to third place. I also managed a staff of 12 including young producers.

Prior to KOIN, I produced and wrote for NBC San Diego. There I covered everything, from major political scandals to some of the nation’s biggest stories.

I’m the founding president of the San Diego Association of Black Journalists, which in its 18 years of existence has sent over 60+ students to colleges and universities across the country. This chapter celebrated it’s 20th year in 2020.
