The Associated Press made a big hire today: CBS Middle East correspondent Kim Dozier has been named the news organization’s new intelligence reporter, according to a staff memo obtained by POLITICO.
Dozier covered the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, where she was injured during a car bombing in 2006. For the past few years, she’s been covering the White House, Pentagon, and national security.
Washington bureau chief Ron Fournier, in the memo, said that Dozier “will help the AP break news and produce high-impact enterprise stories” and “work with AP reporters around the globe, focusing on stories about the growing security threats against the United States and its allies.”
Dozier will be the awards presenter at this year’s OPC Awards on April 22.
