He's an on-air reporter, right? Do they usually edit their own videos?

He looks a bit like a Ted Baxter type to me.

Depends on the market, but I job shadowed once at a station, and yes the reporters edited their video. Network’s another story though, but this was just an affiliate.

No, they give detailed instructions to the editors where they want the cuts to be made. My nephew is a film and video editor who worked for CNN for a while. He recently quit his job at a local TV station. He got a better job with a film maker, but he also said he couldn't stand the news business anymore. He said that they're all on a mission to change the world.

He told me there is absolutely no way that the Zimmerman 911 tape was edited by mistake, and claims that it was are bald-faced lies.

With it being the Miami market, I am almost sure an editor worked on the actual editing. Reporters do edit their tapes, but typically in smaller markets.
