POSITIVELY JAX 📚 In honor of National Donate a Book Day on Monday, News4JAX employees came together for an internal book drive as part of our 4 Culture initiative. The books collected were donated to Around the Clock Kid Care and Preschool, helping to inspire young minds through the joy of reading. At News4JAX, we are proud to support a lifelong love of learning and exploration. We encourage everyone to keep turning pages, discovering new ideas, and growing—one book at a time. 📖💡✨ AROUND THE CLOCK KID CARE & PRESCHOOL LLC

THE Local Station is proud to share live coverage of the Florida Gators National Championship basketball team's return to Gainesville. 🏀 Kent Justice & Joy Purdy had a great time anchoring from the celebration. The fans, the rally, the students, the players, the energy...it was well worth the trip to the UF campus to be a part of the celebration. 🎉 We shared the event live with Gator fans in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia on Channel 4 and with Gator fans around the world on our News4JAX+ stream and YouTube channel. This 3 minute montage just gives you a taste of what it was like Tuesday afternoon. 🙌 From all of us at WJXT to the National Championship Gators...CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 and thank you for sharing this win with us. 🐊 #Jacksonville #Gainesville #UF #Florida #FinalFour #CollegeBasketball University of Florida

Honored to be a part of WJXT News4JAX Graham Media Group!

Florida Justice is News4JAX’s true crime documentary series hosted by Morning Show anchor and I-TEAM reporter Jennifer Waugh. In 6 episodes of Florida Justice: Betraying The Badge, Waugh looks back at one of the worst cases of police corruption in the history of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office involving murder, robbery and drugs. Episodes 1-4 are out now. 5 and 6 drop over the next two weeks. It’s compelling and we encourage you to watch and share! #FloridaJustice #Jacksonville #investigativejournalism #News4Jax #documentary #truecrime
