Selina Wang, who served as CNN’s only reporter on the ground during the coronavirus-challenged Beijing Winter Olympics, will soon become one of ABC News’ key personnel in a very different arena: The White House.
Wang, who had been with CNN since 2020, was named ABC News’ new senior White House correspondent Tuesday, during the Disney news unit’s daily editorial meeting. “I’m honored to join the extraordinary team of journalists at ABC,” says Wang. “As I arrive in Washington after my time reporting overseas, I’m reminded of what a privilege it is to work in a country where there is freedom of the press. I look forward to working alongside my new colleagues in covering one of the most consequential stories of our time.”
Wang stood out during the coronavirus pandemic, and was one of only a handful of American broadcastesr reporting on the ground in China during the historic anti-zero-covid protests.
