Andrea Mitchell: Veteran Reporter at NBC and Host of ‘Andrea Mitchell Reports’ on MSNBC

After more than four decades as an on-air national news reporter and host, Andrea Mitchell (73) hardly needs an introduction here. Currently, she is Chief Foreign Affairs & Senior Washington Correspondent for NBC News; she also anchors MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, which airs every weekday. Mitchell earned a Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 2019.
 
Quotes: “All they expected me to do was rip and read the wire ‘leads,’ without doing any original reporting. It was pretty basic, but gave me a taste of how to combine my love of politics and broadcasting.” | “They put me on the shift where they thought I could do the least harm, midnight to eight in the morning. Although the hours were lousy, they were perfect for an apprentice reporter.” | “Someday perhaps I’ll have to get a grownup job… but for now I’m having too much fun being a reporter.”
