JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As a mom of two, a longtime Jacksonville storyteller, and someone whose husband, Tarik Minor, also happens to anchor here at News4JAX, I know what it feels like to juggle all the things.
For 20 years, you’ve trusted me to bring you the news that matters, and that’s a responsibility I never take lightly.
That’s why I’m so excited to share that News4JAX is adding more streaming content, and as part of that, I’ll be bringing you the news with a deeper dive on stories that impact your life at 10:30 a.m. on our News4JAX+ streaming app.

Our goal is simple: to make this show even more useful, more uplifting, and more connected to everyday life here in Jacksonville.
We’re building our audience and expanding where, how and when you can watch — because I know mornings get busy, and flexibility matters.
You’ll start seeing new recurring segments that highlight the topics you care about most:
Family & parenting support for moms and dads trying to balance it all
Health and wellness conversations that fit into real schedules
Local food, community events and feel-good stories
Tools for financial confidence and navigating modern life
We’ll also feature our digital-first features on News4JAX.com and behind-the-scenes, personality-driven content on SNAPJAX, so these stories reach you wherever you are.
This means even more opportunities for you to catch something helpful or inspiring.
At its heart, News4JAX at 10:30 is about connection. About celebrating where we live. About having honest conversations. And about giving you a little boost in the middle of the morning rush.
Thank you for trusting me, supporting this show, and being part of our News4JAX family for two decades. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
I also want to hear from you! Use the form below or email mlawson@wjxt.com to let me know what you want me to cover, and I’ll try my best to include you in the conversation. I can not wait to take this journey with you!
