Award-winning journalist and producer Lisa Ling has been named a CBS News contributor. Ling's distinctive reporting will be featured across CBS News broadcasts and platforms beginning this summer. The announcement was made Wednesday morning by Neeraj Khemlani, president and co-head of CBS News and Stations.
"Lisa delivers some of the most authentic, human and revealing interviews because of how she embeds with communities and the people she covers. It gives her and us a chance to communicate the pulse of the country and the world in a more experiential way," said Khemlani. "From war coverage at Channel One News to the anchor table at 'The View' to numerous cable series that showcase her immersive journalism, Lisa Ling is a multi-talented reporter and storyteller that we are thrilled to add to our roster of world-class network talent."
"I can't think of a better home for my style of reporting than CBS News given its tradition of exceptional news gathering and thoughtful storytelling," said Ling. "I'm honored to be working with this venerable organization to tell the stories of people behind the headlines whose voices need to be heard."

But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
