CNN has appointed Paula Newton to the newly-created role of international security correspondent.
Newton has been an international correspondent based at CNN's European headquarters in London since joining the network in 2005. Her new role is also based in London.
"This role has been created in recognition of the growing significance of international terrorism in the global news agenda," said Tony Maddox, senior VP of newsgathering at CNN International. "London is in the front line in the war on terrorism and we want to use CNN’s strong newsgathering and production infrastructure in London to explore this issue."
Before joining CNN, Newton had a 12 year career at Canada's CTV.
