In a press release, CNN announced a new assignment for correspondent Kyung Lah. Below are a few excerpts:

CNN Newsource correspondent Kyung Lah has been appointed as a Tokyo-based international correspondent assigned to cover Japan and other regional assignments; it was announced today by Parisa Khosravi, senior vice president of international newsgathering for CNN.

Lah recently worked on assignment in Tokyo for CNN International covering a broad range of business, technology and sporting stories including the dramatic China Air plane crash in Okinawa and growing concern over the safety of nuclear facilities situated in earth quake zones.

“To be able to recruit such a strong candidate for an international assignment from within CNN shows the depth of skills and talent that we have across our networks,” Khosravi said. “Kyung has a real passion for international news, and her Newsource experience will be invaluable as she serves the demands of CNN’s many networks and services.”

  1. Awesome post thanks. It would be cool if CNN
    would run these behind the scenes podcasts
    on weekends on CNN and HLN . Just let it
    run raw with intros and words on the screen.
    I think it would be better than the repeats
    (unless it is something like a debate or
    Planet In Peril . I think people would watch
    in larger numbers on weekends if they
    don't konw what is coming up next. I am
    soooo happy for Wolf and Team CNN.
    I appreciate his old school style. I guess
    I am not alone 4 million viewers can't
    be wrong.
