In Atlanta, Campbell helped reinvent the formula for local news with “Atticus,” a digital-first investigative team that crafts docu-series reports about hard to talk about issues. Their primary goal: Change the world.
"Mothers Matter" highlighted the disparate increase in deaths among black moms in America. “Charlie Foxtrot” got the attention of Washington when Campbell presented the investigation to a special panel at the U.S. Capitol. The head of the VA cited that presentation as his inspiration for giving veterans a second chance at benefits. “Selling Girls” exposed the inner workings of America’s sex trafficking industry. The U.S. State Department took notice, including Campbell in an educational tour for international journalists on how to tackle the tough subject matter of trafficking. "The Triangle" exposed a dramatic spike in heroin-related deaths in Atlanta’s wealthy suburbs.
Campbell's reporting career began in the winds of change that blew alongside Hurricane Katrina. He created a documentary about New Orleans life after the storm that led to his first on air job as a Reporter/Anchor at KLFY in Lafayette, Louisiana. He’s also reported for WBMA in Birmingham, WTVT in Tampa and is currently based at WXIA in Atlanta. His work has been featured on the Today show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, CNN, FOX News Channel, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, CBS News and on stations in TEGNA’s 41 markets nationwide.
He was among a small group of journalists selected by NASA to document the final space shuttle landing from the runway to the cockpit. He's covered controversy, tragedy and change - from the Casey Anthony trial and the Trayvon Martin shooting to the 2011 tornado Super Outbreak across the South, Hurricane Harvey in Texas, to the Obama Inaugural in Washington D.C. and interviewing Donald Trump on the 2016 campaign trail.
Campbell is a three-time recipient of the National Murrow Award for Innovation. He’s been recognized at the National News and Doc Emmy Awards for Breaking News Coverage. He's also been honored with twenty-four regional EMMY® Awards, nine regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, two Gracies, a Cronkite Award for political reporting and back to back Service to America Awards from the NAB. He’s been named “Best Reporter” by the AP in Georgia, Florida and Alabama and is a three-time Atlanta Press Club Awards honoree.
Off air, Campbell is a former Adjunct Professor, teaching Storytelling at the University of Florida’s College of Journalism. He also served as President of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Southeast Chapter, where he’d come full circle after receiving the NATAS Scholarship while an undergrad at Auburn University.
