Amna Nawaz, chief correspondent for PBS Newshour, has been named as the new PBS Newshour co-anchor, along with Geoff Bennett. 

Nawaz remarked, “It’s never been more important for people to have access to news and information they trust, and the entire NewsHour team strives relentlessly towards that goal every day. I am honored to be part of this mission, to work with colleagues I admire and adore, and to take on this new role alongside Geoff as we help write the next chapter in NewsHour’s story. Today is a day I never could’ve imagined when I began my journalism career years ago, or while growing up as a first-generation, Muslim, Pakistani-American. I’m grateful, humbled, and excited for what’s ahead.”

Nawaz is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue.
