Scott Matthews, senior VP of newsgathering, has been tasked with building up MSNBC's news division. Akayla Gardner is joining as a White House reporter from Bloomberg, where she was a White House correspondent and author of the weekly 'Washington Edition: Inside the White House' newsletter. Ryan Reilly will be senior justice reporter, having worked for NBC News. He covered the Jack Smith investigation, the January 6th attack on the Capitol and the Trump administration overhaul of the Justice Department, among other stories, and authored the book Sedition Hunters: How January 6th Broke the Justice System.

Mychael Schnell joins as a reporter, having previously covered Congress for The Hill. Arielle Hixson will be a reporter, having previously worked at NBC Washington.

Alex Tabet will be a reporter, having previously worked at NBC News and on the documentaries W: George W. Bush and Slay the Dragon, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. MSNBC and other Comcast cable networks will be split into a new company, Versant, later this year. That means that NBC News and MSNBC will not longer be sister networks. Here's the note to staffers sent from Chloe Arensberg, NBC News Washington, D.C. bureau chief, about the promotion of Perry: All, I am thrilled to share that Michelle Perry has been promoted to Deputy Washington Bureau Chief, charged with overseeing our editorial units across Washington. In her new role, Michelle will lead the bureau's daily reporting efforts and take a more direct role in the development of our excellent NBC News talent. Michelle's range of experience and commitment to outstanding journalism, across all platforms, make her uniquely suited for this position, and I know our teams will continue to thrive under her exceptional leadership. For the past year, Michelle has run our Justice and National Security unit, shepherding the team through countless scoops and high-stakes stories with a spirit of calm and collaboration. She is as competitive as she is committed to getting things right, and she's earned the trust of our reporters on every story she's led. In 2024, she stepped in during one of the most consequential news cycles in recent history – overseeing the bureau's reporting on the first assassination attempt against now-President Trump and the end of Joe Biden's re-election bid. Michelle has had a remarkable 20 year run at NBC News and MSNBC, defined in part by a legendary partnership with Andrea Mitchell. She executive produced Andrea's show for 10 years, producing news-making interviews – from Benjamin Netanyahu to Elton John – and led MSNBC's coverage of some of the biggest stories of recent memory. Michelle field produced major international events like the reopening of US Embassy in Cuba, the Iran nuclear talks in Geneva and the 70th anniversary of D-Day. She's produced primary nights, debate nights and election nights – from the control room to the field – for every US election cycle since 2008. Michelle started at NBC News as a Today Show intern and desk assistant before Tim Russert asked her to be his assistant. She knows better than anyone what it takes to excel here at NBC, and I could not be prouder to call her my partner.
