James Alan Sutherland's media career covered several continents and news organizations, including CNN, WSB-TV and The Weather Channel before he created Jim Sutherland Media. He was just as serious about music. Many nights a week, Sutherland could be found at one of several live music venues, playing his trumpet on the straight-ahead jazz scene. Read the news obituary.

Jim was committed to social justice and excellence in news reporting. He was a great friend and loving father. His untimely death has left a big hole in many lives.

Worked with Jim at WTVX West Palm Ft Pierce in the early days of the 80s and ENG. Then also at WTSP Tampa/ St. Pete. Also with Pierre Kimsey on Reunion. What he brought everyday was passion for a great story and the rock hard ethics to see it through to a major award and real change. He was cocky, so was I but never less than a gentleman to those who deserved it. Miss you fellow Gator Muckracker TV Journalist and friend!

Jim was always calm, collected and wise during some of the toughest days in journalism after 9/11. He accomplished what we all hope to do: He made a difference when it really counted.
