Claire Day has been promoted to London bureau chief for CBS News.
Day, who previously was deputy bureau chief and director of news assignments, succeeds Andrew Roy, who departed for CNN earlier this year.
Wendy Fisher, senior vice president of editorial for CBS News and Stations, wrote in a memo to staff, “During her career at CBS News, Claire has coordinated the international coverage of major political and breaking news events, including the Oct. 7 terror attacks in Israel, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Royal Wedding of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and most recently, the death of the Pope.”

As director of news assignments, Day managed deployments for coverage to conflict zones and daily news reporting. She was nominated for Emmy Awards for the network’s coverage of Israel, coverage of the coronation of King Charles, and as part of the CBS Evening News team.
“She’s an experienced newsroom leader and manager who is calm under pressure,” Fisher wrote. “She is innovative, embracing new ways of working. Through it all, Claire has an innate ability to work with everyone under the toughest situations. Every day, she shows up with intense curiosity, and a desire to get the story right.”
