ABC News president Kim Godwin sent the following note to the news division, announcing Selina Wang has joined ABC News as senior White House correspondent, and Rachael Bade and Asma Khalid have joined as contributors.
I am excited to announce that Selina Wang has joined ABC News as our new senior White House correspondent.
Selina is an award-winning journalist, most recently at CNN, where she was based at the Beijing bureau as the network’s sole correspondent in China. She has reported on key stories from China and the Asia-Pacific region, leading coverage on China’s economic, political and societal transformation and its evolving relationships with governments and leaders around the world.
During the pandemic, Selina was the only American broadcaster reporting on the ground in China during the historic anti-zero-COVID protests. She provided extensive coverage of how China’s security forces clamped down on demonstrators, filmed her own experience dealing with health surveillance and long government quarantines, and was the first to deeply investigate the extreme measures people took to flee China and its COVID policies.
