Jackson Stoever
Jackson Stoever is a general assignment reporter for News 9 who often covers how transportation, traffic and major events intersect with safety, economics and community life. He brings a practical focus to stories that sit where roads, vehicles and public spaces meet crime, weather, and large-scale gatherings.
Transportation, traffic and major events
Stoever regularly reports on transportation-heavy events and how turnout and travel patterns are shaped by wider economic forces, including coverage of Laconia Motorcycle Week and its drop in attendance driven by costs and financial pressure on riders. His work in this lane looks at roads, vehicles and crowd movement as part of a broader picture of how people use public space, not just as a lifestyle feature. When he reports from parades and public celebrations, he ties the logistics of getting people and vehicles in and out of downtowns to questions of local planning and safety.
Crime, public safety and roadside investigations
A significant share of Stoever’s coverage follows criminal investigations and public safety incidents that unfold on or near major roads. He reports from highway corridors and local streets where state and local police are investigating suspicious deaths, murder cases and armed robberies, often filing from active scenes such as Dover Point Road, Nashua, Plymouth and other roadside locations. His packages focus on what investigators know, what they are asking the public to do, and how the incident affects people moving through the area, from lane closures to concerns about repeat offenses. He also covers impaired driving and serious crashes, reporting on cases where drivers are over the legal alcohol limit and face significant legal consequences. In these stories he treats vehicles and traffic as the setting for the crime rather than the main subject, but the transportation context is always clear.
Weather, roads and infrastructure
Stoever’s reporting extends into how weather and infrastructure affect travel and daily life across the region.
He has covered snow cleanup operations across Vermont and northern New York, riding along with snow removal crews as they work to keep roads passable in winter storms and explaining how their decisions affect commuters and emergency access. He also follows how municipalities and small communities use technology like fixed camera systems to monitor traffic and public areas, including debates over contracts for license-plate-reading systems and security cameras in places like Saranac Lake.
In these pieces he pays attention to where cameras are placed, how they track vehicles, and what that means for drivers and residents concerned about privacy and enforcement.
Regional reporting background
Before joining News 9, Stoever reported for an NBC-affiliated television station serving Vermont and northern New York, where his work was carried in CNN’s regional feed on stories ranging from public meetings in South Burlington to animal welfare cases. That experience contributes to his comfort reporting live from streets, town centers and transportation corridors in multiple states, handling stories that combine local government, public safety and the practical realities of moving around the region.
