Schifrin joined ABC News 10 years ago as a desk editor and worked his way up to become a producer in New York before taking on his first overseas assignment in India.

Schifrin was the first Western journalist to arrive in Abbottabad, Pakistan after the killing of Osama bin Laden last May, getting the first look inside bin Laden’s secret compound and the bedroom where Navy Seals took him out.

Mark Greenblatt

ABC News has hired two new correspondents, brought back a third, and upped a fourth for posts around the world.

News president Ben Sherwood has hired Mark Greenblatt as a New York-based correspondent. Greenblatt joins from CBS affiliate KHOU in Houston where he was an investigative reporter. ABC is also bringing back into the fold Gloria Riviera, formerly a London correspondent who will now be based in Beijing. Riviera’s husband, former ABC Newsman Jim Sciutto just started his new job as chief of staff to U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, (whose wife Mona Lee Locke, incidentally, is a former local TV news reporter).

ABC News has also hired Muhammad Lila from the CBC as the new Digital Correspondent for South Asia, based in Islamabad. And Kirit Radia, a one-time ABC News desk assistant who worked his way up to producing at the White House and State Department, has been named ABC’s new Digital Correspondent in Moscow.
