Shawna Thomas Joins MS NOW as Political Director, Shaping Network's Political Coverage
Shawna Thomas, a seasoned journalist with extensive experience in political coverage, has been appointed as the political director of MS NOW, a network formerly known as MSNBC. Thomas, who previously served as the executive producer for 'CBS Mornings,' will lead MS NOW's political unit, directing coverage of campaigns and elections. Her role will also include on-air appearances as an analyst. Thomas's move to MS NOW follows her departure from CBS News, where she worked for five years. Her decision to leave was reportedly influenced by the demanding nature of early morning television. MS NOW, owned by Versant, is building its own editorial operation independent of NBC News. The network recently hired Peter Alexander, a former NBC News White House correspondent, to host a daily program.
