ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 23 (UPI) -- CBS News correspondent Hari Sreenivasan is joining the staff of "The PBS NewsHour," the U.S. program's producers announced Monday.
Sreenivasan is also expected to "play a key role in bridging its broadcast and digital platforms when it succeeds 'The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer' on Monday, Dec. 7," the show's producers said in a news release. "He will report and anchor video news updates throughout the day on the 'PBS NewsHour's' Web site. He'll also appear nightly on the 'PBS NewsHour' itself, anchoring a summary of the day's headlines from the broadcast's newsroom. Sreenivasan will join NewsHour anchor Jim Lehrer and the on-camera team of senior correspondents already associated with the venerable news program, which is celebrating its 34th year on the air."
