NBC News adds two correspondents

NBC News is adding two new correspondents.

Camila Bernal will join in Los Angeles as a correspondent beginning next week, and Ryan Chandler will join the reporting team in the south as a correspondent based in Texas beginning this week.

Both will report across all our NBC News platforms.

Bernal comes to us from CNN, where she worked as a national correspondent in the Los Angeles bureau for three years. Before moving to Los Angeles, Camila was based in D.C. as a correspondent for CNN Newsource, where she delivered live English and Spanish language reports for over 1,000 local news partners.

During her career, Camila has covered a wide range of stories, including wildfires on the west coast, the 2020 presidential election and confirmation hearings of various Supreme Court justices. This role marks a return for Camila to NBCU News Group, as she has previously worked for NBC Latino, our local station WTVJ-6 in Miami and Telemundo. She is a graduate of Florida International University.

Chandler joins us from affiliate station KXAN-TV in Austin, where he spent the past several years as a Capitol correspondent covering the biggest stories across the state for more than a dozen stations, including the Texas legislature, the southern border and the protests at the University of Texas in 2024.

Prior to KXAN, Ryan worked as a reporter and anchor for KAMC and KLBK News in Lubbock, Texas, where he also hosted the weekly political program, Talking Points. A lifelong Texan, he graduated from The University of Texas at Austin.
