Tonight, I produced my final show for @NewsNation. I’ll announce my next move in the coming days, but first, I want to express my gratitude to NewsNation and the fine journalists who I had the privilege of working alongside for a little more than two years.
NewsNation gave me my dream start in television news after six years in radio. I am incredibly thankful to Adam Thomas, my former executive producer on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” and longtime @1010WINS morning anchor turned TV manager Lee Harris who brought me to NewsNation in January 2024.
Working as an associate producer on Vargas, I learned new skills as a visual storyteller, established control room experience, and worked for one of the best researchers and journalists in @EVargasTV. Together, we covered impactful stories from Kohberger to Karen Read to Diddy, the Ukraine War, the Trump Administration’s new health policies, the first American Pope, and so much more.
I was fortunate to be in the control room when NewsNation became the first network to call the 2024 election for Donald Trump. That was a groundbreaking moment for NewsNation.
The last six months producing “The Hill with Blake Burman” were some of the best months of my career. I have to thank @BlakeBurman; he has made me a better writer. He saw something in my writing and challenged me every day to be better, write sharper, engage the audience, and keep our audience. We’ve recently enjoyed a surge in the ratings with an intense focus on breaking news.
Telling stories is what we do. The news landscape continues to evolve and has changed dramatically in just the ten years that I’ve been out of college. We inform people who may only have time to watch a sliver of news a day in their busy lives. This is both a huge responsibility and a privilege.
NewsNation is in good hands with some of the most talented journalists in the business - many of whom I now call friends. Their dogged on-the-ground reporting has put competitors on notice.
It is a bittersweet day; I loved my time at NewsNation. But I am excited and eager for the new opportunity that awaits.
