Jackson, a veteran political correspondent based in Washington, succeeds Kate Snow. She will continue as an anchor on NBC News Now.
Hallie Jackson is taking over the anchor chair on the Sunday edition of 'NBC Nightly News.' NBC News announced Wednesday that Jackson would take over the anchor chair on April 7. She succeeds Kate Snow, who remains at the network as a senior correspondent. “Hallie is an exceptional journalist and an extraordinary broadcaster, representing the very best of NBC News,' Janelle Rodriguez, executive vice president of programming for NBC News, said in a statement.
She was chief White House correspondent during the Trump administration and was one of the network's highest profile reporters during the 2016 presidential campaign.
