MSNBC is continuing to expand its on-air team with the addition of reporter Maya Eaglin.
Eaglin makes the move to MSNBC from NBC News, where she served as a correspondent and co-host of Stay Tuned, the network’s digital news program geared toward Gen Z audiences.
At NBC News, Eaglin became one of the youngest reporters on the air. Stay Tuned boasts more than 10 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and Instagram. Her stories have appeared on NBC Nightly News, Today, NBC News Now, MSNBC, and NBCNews.com.
This year, Eaglin was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and has earned a Gracie Award, three Front Page Awards, and two Hearst Awards.
Earlier in October, MSNBC began operating its own newsgathering teams for national and international coverage, while continuing to rely on NBC News for Washington, D.C. reporting until October 19.
To strengthen its Capitol Hill coverage, MSNBC also hired Kevin Frey as its new Congress reporter. Frey joins from Spectrum News NY1, where he served as a Washington correspondent.
The network’s recent hires don’t stop there. Fallon Gallagher, Jillian Frankel, and Laura Haefeli are also joining MSNBC in reporting and producing capacities.
Gallagher, who previously worked at NBC News, will cover legal affairs as a reporter and producer. Haefeli will be based in New York after her time at CBS News Boston, while Frankel heads to Los Angeles from People, where she was a staff writer.
The news of the additions at MSNBC was first reported by TVNewser.
