Fox News nabs CNN’s Ed Henry as chief White House correspondent, shakes up D.C. bureau

Fox News announced on Monday that it has hired CNN's Ed Henry to be its chief White House correspondent.

Henry had been with CNN since 2004, most recently as a senior White House correspondent. He replaces Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel, who shared the chief White House reporting role. Goler has been promoted to senior White House and foreign affairs correspondent, adding State Department responsibilities; Emanuel has been named FNC's chief congressional correspondent.Michael Clemente, FNC's senior vice president of news, lauded Henry's "tenacity and hard news instincts," adding, "We've been impressed with Henry's reporting for a long time."

It's worth noting that Henry won an award from the White House Correspondents Association in 2008 for his reporting "on the Bush administration's contradicting assertions that top Iran officials were behind the authorization to send improvised explosive devices to Iraq," according to WHCA.

Also on Monday, Fox named James Rosen as its chief Washington correspondent; Carl Cameron remains chief political correspondent at the network.

A spokeswoman for CNN told the Cutline that the network would be naming its new chief White House correspondent "in the coming days."
