After announcing he would depart CBS News Radio last week, Steven Portnoy has a new home.
The longtime radio reporter will return to ABC Audio as a national correspondent. Portnoy worked for ABC News from 2002 to 2015 before joining CBS News Radio. At ABC News Radio, Portnoy became the network’s Washington Correspondent in 2006 and provided coverage of the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
“Holding powerful officials accountable to the public and helping Americans understand their world have always been my objectives in journalism,” said Portnoy. “On those points and so many others, ABC News is best in class.”
In addition to his work at CBS News Radio, Portnoy served as the President of the White House Correspondents Association for the 2021-2022 term.
Portnoy joins the outlet at a slightly tumultuous time. ABC Audio laid off three executives last week as part of ongoing cuts from parent company Disney, including Executive Director Heidi Oringer.
