In making the announcement, Grzech said: “We are so excited that Jake, Ali, and Hayley are joining the NewsNation team.  We are bringing together some of the best minds in the business — skilled and experienced journalists dedicated to delivering fact-based news.”

Headquartered in Chicago, NewsNation is expanding its footprint in New York City and Washington, with production studios currently under construction at both locations.
