PBS NewsHour Adds Emmy-Winning Journalist

Ex-CNNer Bob Kovach joins as senior producer for politics.

Big week for NewsHour’s newsroom.

Only two days after announcing the promotions of 5 staffers — including Lisa Desjardins as political director — the evening news program announced another big move within its politics team.

PBS NewsHour has hired former CNNer Bob Kovach as senior producer for politics, per a press release on Thursday.

“As the 2016 election cycle ramps up, we are so happy to have Bob joining our team. He shares the NewsHour’s commitment to covering politics and elections with depth, balance and curiosity,” said Sara Just, executive producer of PBS NewsHour and WETA senior vice president, in the announcement.
