Jasmine Butler joined Action News Jax as a Reporter in April 2026. She was born and raised in Jacksonville and returns after reporting in Savannah, Georgia. During her time there, she covered stories that garnered national attention such as the Sapelo Island Dock Collapse that resulted in the loss of seven lives, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign stop to Savannah, and a mass shooting at Ellis Square. She developed a passion for accountability storytelling and amplifying diverse voices in Coastal Empire and Lowcountry communities. She got to do this by covering renter’s issues and several apartment mold investigations that produced real results for residents. Jasmine earned her degree in broadcast journalism from Florida A&M University. During her time at the HBCU, she gained real-world journalism experience through several internships including Good Morning America in New York City, Tampa Bay 28 in Tampa, Florida and The Free Press of Jacksonville.
