Fox News has promoted Ayesha Hassani to anchor and White House correspondent, promoting the journalist to one of the most important jobs in the cable channel’s news division.
Hassani, who has served as senior national correspondent, congressional correspondent and New York-based correspondent since joining Fox in 2019, will get her own Saturday show from 12-2 p.m. starting Jan. 10, and will also join Peter Doocy and Jackie Heinrich in the White House Briefing Room.
“Aisha’s knowledge of Washington makes her an ideal addition to our stellar team of White House correspondents, and we are confident she will excel in the anchor chair as well,” said Jay Wallace, Fox News president and executive editor.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to step into the anchor chair to deliver vital information to our audiences across the country and am honored to join our distinguished White House correspondent team,” Hassani said.
Hassani previously worked for Fox and CBS stations in Indiana
