Jacob Soboroff will be part of the MSNBC team as it splits from Comcast and sister network NBC News later this year.
Soboroff will serve as senior national and political correspondent for the network.
As NBC News political and national correspondent, Soboroff has covered presidential campaigns and elections, the family separation crisis of 2018, and appeared as a correspondent and fill-in anchor on Today. He covered the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year, with personal accounts of its impact on his hometown. The fires will be the subject of an upcoming book, Firestorm, to be published on Jan. 6.
Soboroff also has been reporting on the ICE raids in Los Angeles, building on his experience covering immigration. He wrote the book Separated: Inside an American Tragedy, and was executive producer of Errol Morris’ documentary Separated, based on his work.
Soboroff first joined MSNBC in 2015. He’ll be part of the network’s live event, MSNBCLIVE ’25, on Oct. 11.
MSNBC will be part of Versant, the newly named comoany that will include former Comcast cable channels and other assets. With NBC News no longer as a sister network, MSNBC has been building up its own news division.
