James Johnson works as a cameraman/photojournalist for Channel 3 CBS News. He worked as an anchor in Laredo, TX, Bakersfield, CA, and Omaha, NE after leaving Las Vegas to advance his career. Racism in Omaha was more overt and damaging than in other cities. He moved back to Las Vegas with his wife and children and resumed the work he loves. To his credit, Johnson has earned three Emmy Awards because of his artistry in anchoring, reporting, editing, shooting, interviewing, producing, and writing.

Johnson was born in Las Vegas where his father landed as a result of his Air Force career. His education was attained at schools throughout the Las Vegas Valley including a bachelor's degree from UNLV. His mother's work as a short-time horticulturalist at the MGM Mirage led to a scholarship for his higher education.
