Dear Team –

As a tumultuous week comes to an end, I want to first thank everyone who contributed to our extraordinary coverage, especially those at the Capitol on Wednesday. It is a privilege to work with you as we document history.

As we prepare for a new President to be sworn in, I want to share a few pieces of our coverage plans related to the new Administration.

First, will add another ‘chief’ to her name, taking on the title of Chief Washington Correspondent in addition to her long-time role covering all things international as our Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent.

I’m excited to announce that will be following up her incredible run at the by stepping into a new role as Senior Washington Correspondent, covering big political stories and more for all of our platforms. She’ll continue to anchor her 10 a.m. hour on MSNBC, and will also launch a show for NBC News Now and Peacock, which we’ll have more to say about in the coming weeks.

Kristen Welker and Peter Alexander will be our new Chief White House Correspondents, leading our coverage of the incoming Biden Administration. As if co-anchoring together wasn’t enough, this duo’s tenacious reporting has been at the heart of our political coverage for the last two administrations and the White House unit could not be in better hands.

Geoff Bennett and Kelly O’Donnell will continue to serve as White House Correspondents and Monica Alba will join the team as well. Mike Memoli will also continue his extraordinary work covering all things Biden for the last 13 years, as will Carol Lee whose outstanding reporting continues to make us proud.

Shannon Pettypiece will continue as Senior Digital White House Reporter focusing on all aspects of the Biden administration, the White House and the president. She will be joined by Politics Reporter Lauren Egan who will cover breaking news out of the White House for Digital.

Please join me in congratulating those taking on new roles and thanking everyone for their terrific work.

Noah
