Longtime CNN anchor Christine Romans departed CNN in July after 24 years at the cable news giant. Her new landing spot has officially been announced.
Romans is joining NBC News as a senior business correspondent. She will contribute to coverage on NBC News and MSNBC, and will also write for NBCNews.com.
“Christine will cover all aspects of major breaking business news with a core emphasis on the economy – inflation, jobs, wages, debt, the Fed, manufacturing and trade, regional trends, and how it affects the daily lives of Americans across the country,” an internal memo from Senior Vice President of NBC News Editorial Catherine Kim wrote.
The longtime CNN anchor started her career at the network focusing on the financial sector, before moving to the network’s Early Start morning program in 2014.
“I’ve climbed the mountain and it’s time for me to climb a new one, but I’m forever grateful to have worked alongside some of the most talented journalists in the business,” Romans said as she announced her exit from CNN.
It was expected Christine Romans was departing CNN for NBC News at the time of her departure. She will be based in New York and begins her duties with the network today.
