CBS News has made a promotion within the company as White House producer Fin Gómez has been named political director for the Network. Gómez starts his new position this week and will continue being based in Washington, D.C.
“As we look to the 2022 midterms and the 2024 election, we’re bringing together a powerhouse political team of correspondents, reporters and producers at CBS News who are committed to providing quality, comprehensive campaign coverage across our broadcast and streaming networks,” CBS News president and co-head Neeraj Khemlani said in a statement.
“Fin’s experience, energy, and drive to break news will help deliver vital information Americans need to make informed decisions about the candidates and the issues.”
Gómez has spent the last seven years as a White House producer for CBS News, and before that, for Fox News. He has also covered four presidential campaigns and three administrations and will supervise the Network’s daily political campaign coverage and brings plenty of experience to the role.
“I’m thrilled to have Fin heading up our CBS News political unit as we find ourselves in this critical time in American politics,” Mary Hager said. “Fin’s reporting experience on the campaign trail and the White House beat – combined with his passion and instincts for pursuing the key stories – reflect the best of the tradition of CBS News.”
During his career, Gómez became the first Latino journalist to serve on the White House Correspondents Association’s board in its 108-year history. Furthermore, he’s a former national board member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
