Paula Reid Joins MS NOW as Chief White House Reporter

MS NOW has appointed Paula Reid as its chief White House reporter, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and ADWEEK. Reid, who begins the role immediately, transitions to the network from CNN, where she served as the chief legal affairs correspondent. In an internal memo to staff, MS NOW Washington bureau chief Sudeep Reddy stated that Reid will utilize her experience to cover the administration and contribute to the newsroom's enterprise and investigative journalism. Reid's professional background includes tenure at CBS News, where she reported on the White House and the Justice Department, as well as work at CNN covering the Supreme Court and other legal matters. Reid joins a White House team that includes director Scott Foster, senior reporter Vaughn Hillyard, and reporters Jake Traylor, Akayla Gardner, and Laura Barrón-López. Her arrival comes as MS NOW continues to build its news organization following its split from NBC News last year. The appointment occurs during a period of tension between the network and the administration. The Hollywood Reporter notes that MS NOW, CNN, and Politico are currently engaged in a dispute with the White House over media coverage. This conflict previously resulted in the three outlets being barred from the grounds until a judge ordered the return of their press passes. According to ADWEEK, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have since amended a lawsuit regarding press access. They have asked U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly to make current access orders permanent and to ensure the White House does not prevent them from traveling on Air Force One or performing rotating press pool duties in the Oval Office. --- HOT covers what Americans are searching for most right now.
