Yellin will also serve as a substitute anchor in various positions for the network." Keilar has been named Senior White House correspondent. "She has been reporting extensively on President Obama and his administration from the nation’s capital and from around the world since 2008. Previously, Keilar served as congressional correspondent, responsible for reporting on both the U.S. House and Senate. In that role, she was honored with the National Press Foundation’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Reporting of Congress for her fall 2008 coverage of the $700 billion bank bailout." Jim Acosta has been promoted to Senior White House correspondent. "During his six-and-half years with the network, Acosta worked his way up to national political correspondent and was the network’s lead reporter on the 2012 Romney presidential campaign. During his new role as Sr. White House correspondent, Acosta will continue to serve as a substitute anchor for the network." Rene Marsh, who has been reporting for CNN Newsource since early 2012, has been named CNN’s new aviation and government regulation correspondent.
