Blayne Alexander Joins NBC’s Long-Running ‘Dateline’

As a seasoned film enthusiast with a keen eye for journalistic talent, I am genuinely thrilled about Blayne Alexander joining the prestigious ranks of “Dateline” correspondents. With her extensive background in reporting on the Trump administration and her stint as Washington correspondent for NBC News Channel, she brings a wealth of experience that will undoubtedly enrich the true-crime documentary show.


Blayne Alexander will now be part of a select group, the established reporters spearheading NBC News’ enduring “Dateline” series.

The weekly true-crime documentary series has expanded into a substantial independent venture, encompassing not just the television show, but also podcasts and a popular collection of videos that are frequently rebroadcast on cable and streamed across multiple digital channels.

Alexander, freshly back from parental leave, becomes part of a group of reporters, which encompasses Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, and Dennis Murphy. Each week, Lester Holt introduces the show by hosting it.

In 2019, Alexander started working at NBC News, with her headquarters being located in Atlanta. Prior to her current role as a national correspondent, she had served for two years as a Washington correspondent for NBC News Channel, where she covered the Trump administration for NBC stations across the nation.

Anne-Marie Green, a seasoned anchor at CBS News’ early-morning broadcast and its live-streaming service, was appointed as a correspondent for “48 Hours” in August. Now, she has joined the team of this show alongside other correspondents such as Peter Van Sant, Erin Moriarty, and Natalie Morales, as “Dateline” also brings on a new staff member.

Blayne Alexander is a remarkable journalist who adds depth and perspective to every story she shares. Her talent for handling complex subjects has been clearly demonstrated throughout her career,” said Liz Cole, senior executive producer of “Dateline,” and Paul Ryan, the show’s executive producer, in a statement. “We are delighted to officially announce her as the latest addition to our Dateline family.
