Joe Little has been with 10News since 2007. Joe usually shoots, writes, edits, and reports as a one-man-band. However, he often works with a photographer and fills in on the anchor desk from time to time. He primarily covers the South Bay and water issues for the 10News afternoon and evening newscasts. He also teaches part-time at San Diego State University.

Joe's mantra: "If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it."

It has served him well since 1999 as he zigzagged across the country as a television news reporter and anchor with stops in Hagerstown, Maryland; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; San Diego and Carlsbad, California.

His coverage of the 9/11 attacks is among Joe's greatest accomplishments. He was four miles away from Shanksville, Pennsylvania when United Flight 93 crashed. Joe was one of the first reporters on the scene. His accounts are included in a book called Covering Catastrophe: Broadcast Journalists Report on 9/11.

Joe received his Masters from Syracuse University in 1999. In 1998, he earned his BA at George Mason University where he was a proud member of the Men's Basketball Team (well before they were Final Four contenders). In 2010, Joe was named a George Mason University Communication Department’s Alumnus of the Year.

The Chula Vista resident has also been active in his community since moving there in 2002. Joe served on the city's Growth Management Oversight Commission from 2005 to 2007. Joe and his wife Stacey have two sons, Mason and Tyler. Joe enjoys going to the movies, collecting bobbleheads, playing basketball, and spending time with his family.
