Chip Reid Joins CBS News

CBS announced this morning that NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Chip Reid is joining CBS News in the same capacity. Also, current Capitol Hill reporter Sharyl Attkisson becomes an investigative correspondent for the net. CBS says Attkisson will focus “on government spending and taxpayer issues.”

Said CBS News & Sports president Sean McManus about Reid: “Chip’s experience is deep and broad, and his journalism is first-rate.” Reid joins CBS next Tuesday.

Interestingly, in late 2002 NBC’s longtime Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Myers moved to the investigative beat and Reid eventually became Capitol Hill correspondent.
