Travis Fox / The Washington Post

Travis Fox is an Emmy Award-winning video producer for The Washington Post. His distinctive web video and multimedia stories have been instrumental in establishing a new form of multimedia storytelling on the Internet. Kurt Andersen of New York Magazine calls Fox a "natural-born Web-video genius" and describes his work as "ambitious, subtle, tough, and remarkably beautiful." In 2006, Fox received the first Emmy Award awarded to a web video producer for his coverage of Hurricane Katrina. In 2002, his documentary Rebuilding a Fortress, Rebuilding a Life was the first web-based production to air on national television. ABC aired the documentary twice, on UpClose and Nightline. Veteran Nightline producer Tom Bettag described the story as “extraordinary” as well as “sensitive and insightful.” The Rebuilding documentary helped Fox win both the Editor of the Year and Videographer of the Year awards from the White House News Photographers Association, the first and only time the same person has earned both distinctions in the organization’s history. The WHNPA awarded Fox Editor of the Year two other times. He has won dozens of National Press Photographers Association, Pictures of the Year International and CINE awards and has been nominated for a total of six Emmys. More than anything else, Fox is known for creating multimedia stories that combine video with interactive elements. In-depth projects such as Hard Times and Crisis in Darfur are examples of this method as is the daily news coverage he produces, such as his work from China during the 2008 earthquake. While in the field, Fox often works in conjunction with Washington Post reporters, helping adapt their expertise to washingtonpost.com in new ways. Fox graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism and lives in New York.
