Nick Schifrin Biography

Nick Schifrin is PBS NewsHour’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Correspondent. He leads NewsHour’s daily foreign coverage, which includes multiple trips to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion, and has created weeklong series from nearly a dozen countries. His extensive reporting has taken him to over 40 countries, enhancing NewsHour's global perspective.

The PBS NewsHour series “Inside Putin’s Russia” won a 2017 Peabody Award and the National Press Club’s Edwin M. Hood Award for Diplomatic Correspondence. In 2020, Schifrin received the American Academy of Diplomacy’s Arthur Ross Media Award for Distinguished Reporting and Analysis of Foreign Affairs. He was a member of the NewsHour teams awarded a 2021 Peabody for coverage of COVID-19, and a 2023 duPont Columbia Award for coverage of Afghanistan and Ukraine.

Before his tenure at PBS NewsHour, Schifrin was Al Jazeera America's Middle East correspondent, where he led the channel’s coverage of the 2014 war in Gaza; reported on the Syrian war from Syria's Turkish, Lebanese, and Jordanian borders; and covered the annexation of Crimea. He won an Overseas Press Club award for his Gaza coverage, and a National Headliners Award for his coverage of Ukraine. From 2008 to 2012, Schifrin served as the ABC News correspondent in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In 2011, he was one of the first journalists to arrive in Abbottabad, Pakistan, after Osama bin Laden’s death and delivered one of the year’s biggest exclusives: the first video from inside bin Laden’s compound, contributing to ABC News winning an Edward R.
