Watch CBS Mornings Weijia Jiang's journey - Paramount+
Weijia Jiang, CBS News' senior White House correspondent, is a member of the Gold House A100 list that highlights the most influential AAPI leaders of the year.
www.paramountplus.comHere’s the latest I can summarize based on recent publicly available reporting:
- Weijia Jiang has been serving as CBS News’ senior White House correspondent, and in 2026 she was noted as president of the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) during that year. This positions her at the forefront of White House press coverage and WHCA leadership.[2][3]
- In 2026, she publicly commented on the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, praising security personnel and emphasizing the role of journalists in covering the event; she also indicated the WHCA board would review the incident and determine next steps.[3]
- Her professional chronology includes joining CBS News in 2015 via Newspath, covering major political events across multiple administrations, and taking on White House duties since 2018. She has traveled with presidents on Air Force One and reported on high-profile stories including impeachments and campaign cycles.[4][2]
- Additional context notes her involvement in addressing violence against the AAPI community in coverage and her leadership roles within WHCA through 2026.[2]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific timeframe (e.g., “news from 2025–2026”).
- Pull short news blurbs with publication dates and outlets.
- Create a quick, shareable recap or a one-page timeline.
Please tell me which format you prefer (bullet summary, timeline, or a short news digest) and any particular outlets or dates you want emphasized. I can also fetch more precise snippets if you specify a date range.
