Jaden Jefferson Reports

I'm an 18-year-old journalist covering politics, policy, economics, and global affairs. Welcome to my channel!

This all started in 2019, when I began covering stories here in Toledo, Ohio. That same year, I had my 'big break': an interview with presidential candidate & Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. That led to appearances on CBS This Morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, as well as write-ups in national publications, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Root, and others. I've also made a number of appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, during which I interviewed the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Naomi Osaka, and Eric Stonestreet. My final appearance on the show was in 2022, when I interviewed Ellen herself, as part of her final season. Following that, I would re-appear on the nationally-syndicated LIVE with Kelly and Mark, on which I was previously interviewed in 2020. I've also covered U.S. politics for the U.K. young adult news show 'FYI' on Sky.
