1 NEWS reporter, Logan Church, has been appointed as TVNZ’s new US Correspondent.

Logan will be based in New York from October and will report on breaking news and major stories developing in the United States and its neighbouring countries as well as the lead up to the 2024 United States presidential election.

"I'm thrilled to get the opportunity to work in the US, especially in such a pivotal time. The future of the world's biggest democracy is anyone's guess, and that has a direct impact on life for everyone in Aotearoa.

“There are also incredible stories that you haven't seen before, and many exciting things we have in the works - we can't wait to show you on 1 News.” says Logan.

Logan takes over from Anna Burns-Francis who joined Breakfast earlier this year.
