CNN Adds Tanzina Vega and Teddy Schleifer

It’s a new day, which means CNN has more new hires to announce. CNN Politics’ most recent acquisitions, announced this morning, are New York Times reporter Tanzina Vega and Houston Chronicle political reporter Teddy Schleifer. Vega will serve as a digital correspondent and Schleifer will cover money and politics. Vega had been the Times’ race and ethnicity reporter until the paper, in a much-criticized move, scrapped the beat and moved her to the metro desk. It seems CNN also thought it was a bad idea.
