Scripps News has announced the appointment of veteran journalist Jay Gray as its new senior national correspondent, marking a significant addition to the network’s national reporting team. Gray officially assumed the role on April 13, 2026, and will be based in Dallas, where he is expected to contribute to both breaking news coverage and long-form reporting across the United States.
Gray joins Scripps News after a long career with NBC News, where he spent more than two decades covering major national and international stories. His reporting experience includes field coverage of breaking news events, global assignments, and regular appearances on flagship NBC programs such as “NBC Nightly News” and “TODAY.”
At Scripps News, leadership described Gray as a highly experienced storyteller who has reported from the front lines of some of the most significant news events in recent decades. The network said his appointment aligns with its broader strategy of expanding national coverage while maintaining a strong connection between local and national journalism.
Gray himself framed the move as an opportunity to contribute to a newsroom model that emphasizes accountability, reporting, and audience engagement. He noted that Scripps News is positioning itself to deliver in-depth journalism that connects communities with broader national and global developments.
Scripps News executives emphasized that Gray’s experience will strengthen its reporting capacity, particularly in delivering live coverage of developing stories and high-impact national events. His role is also expected to support the network’s expanding slate of programming and special coverage initiatives.
The appointment comes amid broader changes at Scripps News, which has been investing in experienced journalists and new programming as it continues to develop its identity as a streaming-focused national news platform. Gray’s addition follows similar hires aimed at enhancing editorial depth and on-air expertise.
With over 20 years of national reporting experience, Gray’s transition to Scripps News reflects ongoing competition among U.S. media organizations to secure seasoned correspondents capable of delivering high-quality journalism across multiple platforms and formats.
The network expects Gray to play a central role in its national coverage strategy, contributing to both daily reporting and special projects as Scripps News continues to expand its reach across streaming and digital platforms.
