Mark Austin Appointed Sky News US Correspondent

Sky News has appointed Mark Austin as US Correspondent. Mark will be joining Sky News at a time when US politics has never been so high on the news agenda, or important to customers. He will bring his award-winning experience to an already stellar team of US correspondents in Washington, New York and Los Angeles.

Mark will be based in Washington where, along with his colleagues, will cover the latest news from The White House and Capitol Hill, as well as being deployed across the US on other major stories.

Mark joins Sky News from ITN where over three decades he presented the News at Ten and the Evening News at 6.30pm, often on location from around the world including the Antarctic, Iraq, Libya, Haiti, Nepal and Mogadishu.

Mark has been named the RTS Presenter of the Year twice, won five BAFTA awards, an international Emmy for his reporting on the devastating floods in Mozambique, and a Golden Nymph for his coverage of the war in Kosovo.
