ITN's Rivers joins CNN as Bangkok correspondent
CNN has poached ITN's Dan Rivers, the journalist who broke the story of the Jean Charles de Menezes shooting, to become its new Bangkok Correspondent.

Rivers will move from London to Thailand to undertake the role, which will include reporting from the region for all of CNN's services, including CNNI and CNN/US.

"Dan has a formidable track record as a correspondent," said Tony Maddox, svp of CNNI newsgathering. "From his forensic coverage of the July 7 bombings in London, his coverage of the Asian Tsunami and his exhaustive reporting of the Hutton Inquiry he shows a depth of talent that CNN is proud to have on board."
