I worked very closely with Jonathan St John for 7 years in my roles as Assignment Editor and Senior Assignment Editor
at Fox Business Network. He's extremely well versed on all aspects of television operations, studio management, logistics
and video editing. He can move tv crews around with ease and knows how to make the most of the resources
available to him.
He gets things done under high pressure while keeping his cool. He's calm, remains friendly at all times,
and accomoplishes his goals in an efficient manner. He is a pleasure to work with.

I worked closely with Jon for almost 8 years. He was my editor and technical go-to guru. Jon could crash (ie: meet) a deadline like no one else I've ever worked with. He understood the importance of video to a story, could handle the pressure of an ever changing breaking news environment and always had a smile on his face. Jon never got overwhelmed and was an absolute joy to work with.
He understands the need for a smooth symbiotic relationship between the producer and editor and that's how I always felt about our working relationship. We were a smooth crisp team. Our partnership was very collaborative even under the most challenging story conditions. When a deadline was given (whether that deadline was an hour, four hours or all day) Jon would exceed it.He always finished with more than enough time to make changes based on producer notes. He is funny, smart, quick and ultra-talented.
