Reena Ninan has joined CBS News as a Correspondent based in New York City. She will report for all CBS News broadcasts and anchor for CBSN, beginning next month.
Ninan comes to CBS News with a wealth of experience as a reporter, producer and anchor.

Prior to ABC News, Ninan was a Middle East Correspondent for the Fox News Channel. In that position, Ninan reported from Egypt, India, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya and Israel. In 2011, she interviewed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas before his push at the United Nations for Palestinian statehood. In 2011, she was named one of Glamour magazine’s “Women on the Front Lines.”
