Hala Basha-Gorani (/ˈhɑːlə ɡəˈrɑːni/;[1] born March 1, 1970) is an American journalist, working as a correspondent for NBC News. Previously she was an anchor and correspondent for CNN International, based in London. She is also a war correspondent. She previously anchored CNN's Hala Gorani Tonight weeknights at 8 p.m. CET.[2][3] Gorani co-hosted Your World Today with Jim Clancy until February 2009 and then International Desk until April 2014 from CNN's Atlanta headquarters.
Since February 2022, Gorani has been a special war anchor based in Lviv, in western Ukraine during the Russian invasion.[4] Although broadcast in the late evening to her American audience, the time difference means that she is coming live in the early morning from Ukraine.[5]
On 28 April 2022, Gorani announced she would be leaving CNN, and would present her final episode of Hala Gorani Tonight that evening.
