ABC News announced on Tuesday that it has a new full-time New York-based correspondent as Phil Lipof takes over the position.
Lipof has been with ABC News since Aug. 2021 but was working as a freelance reporter for the network, but that all is changing.
Nonetheless, during his time as a freelancer, he reported for “World News Tonight with David Muir,” “Good Morning America,” ABC News Live, “Nightline,” and more.
“Phil is a smart, dogged journalist,” ABC News President Kim Godwin said in a press release. “Just days before the war in Ukraine started, Phil traveled to Poland to report on what developed into a devastating refugee crisis.
“While in Poland, he spent three weeks anchoring in the field for ABC News Live, reporting on those seeking safety as they crossed the border. Phil was also on the ground in Uvalde, Texas, in the wake of the tragic school shooting.”
Before arriving at ABC News, Lipof spent time as the main anchor of the Boston NBC affiliate. Additionally, he served as an anchor/reporter for Boston’s WCVB and WABC in New York for eight years.
