Inside the life of the Arizona's Family 3TV reporter —and what really happens behind the scenes.
Jaime Cerreta is more than a familiar face on Arizona’s morning news—she’s a storyteller with deep roots in the Valley and a heart that breaks wide open for her community. In this raw and honest episode of Off Deadline, Jaime joins Melissa DiGianfilippo to talk about the human side of journalism: the emotional weight of breaking tragic news, the unexpected power of hugs, and the connection she feels to viewers she may never meet.

They also talk about what’s changed in media over the years, how journalists handle negativity, and the beautiful chaos of covering real life.
