Sky News star Trevor Phillips is joining CBS News as senior global affairs correspondent. The veteran British broadcaster was named to the role in an announcement Friday by editor Bari Weiss and CBS News president Tom Cibrowski.
Phillips will report across CBS News's broadcasts and digital platforms. Weiss praised him for his ability to "cut through the noise," calling his decades-long career "a masterclass in seeing beyond groupthink and pursuing" fearless reporting.
The move reflects CBS News's effort to strengthen international coverage as American audiences seek more context on global events. Phillips has built a reputation in British media as an analyst who asks difficult questions.
For Phillips, the position expands his platform to American viewers at a major American news operation.
