CBS News expands political unit with 2024 campaign journalists

CBS News announced additions to its political unit today, including Nidia Cavazos, Shawna Mizelle, Allison Novelo, Olivia Rinaldi, Jake Rosen and Taurean Small as 2024 campaign reporters, while expanding roles for CBS News' Camilo Montoya-Galvez, Aaron Navarro, Zak Hudak and Cristina Corujo as key members of its political and campaign newsgathering efforts. The announcement was made today by Mary Hager, CBS News executive editor for politics and FACE THE NATION executive producer, and Fin Gómez, CBS News political director.

CBS News journalists adding their expertise to the CBS News Political Unit ahead of the 2024 election include Aaron Navarro, Camilo Montoya-Galvez, Zak Hudak and Cristina Corujo. Hudak and Navarro are alumni from the 2020 CBS News class of campaign journalists and these reporters will be focused on covering the issues and campaign through the eyes of American voters as CBS News looks ahead to Election Day 2024. This team's reporting experience when it comes to substantive issues such as immigration, the economy and climate change will further enhance CBS News' commitment to in-depth and factual reporting, as well as storytelling, to the network's multiplatform campaign coverage. For the first time, CBS News' ambitious plans to grow its political and campaign reporting will also include Spanish-language coverage.

The 2024 campaign reporters — traditionally known as "embeds" — will report from throughout the country and play a crucial newsgathering role in the election, focusing on the candidates and issues of importance to voters while delivering that reporting across all of CBS News broadcasts, social channels and platforms, including the daily politics program AMERICA DECIDES on the CBS News Streaming Network.
