Bloomberg’s Mattingly joining CNN

Bloomberg Television reporter Phil Mattingly, who departed last week, will be joining CNN, according to a memo from Terence Burke, CNN’s vice president of news gathering.

Here is the memo:

We are thrilled to announce that Phil Mattingly will join CNN as a general assignment correspondent based in New York at the start of the new year.

An award-winning journalist, Phil comes to us from Bloomberg where he served as a national political correspondent, covering the politics and policies behind the 2016 presidential campaigns. Throughout his career, he’s also served as Bloomberg’s White House correspondent, covered Congress, economics and finance and helped lead the coverage of the federal response to the financial crisis.

Phil will make a very strong addition to our seasoned team of reporters and we’re excited to welcome him aboard.

On Twitter, Mattingly wrote, “Bloomberg is a first class organization with fantastic (and enormously talented) people. Will miss it quite a bit.”
