NBC News correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer reunited Wednesday with her young son after 49 days apart — including a full 14-day quarantine — and the emotional video was shared far and wide.
“With work travel, restrictions and quarantine in #China, our family was apart for 49 days,” the China-based journalist wrote on Twitter. “And yes, every one of them was hard — the worry, the decisions, the failed plans, isolation. Our little guy has been brave and resilient… and this was easily the best. hug. ever.”

In the clip she posted, her young son stands outside a fence squealing with excitement to see her as she runs down a driveway wearing, of course, a protective mask. She rushes past workers in full protective gear to crouch down and grab the child in an extended embrace. In a later tweet, she thanks her husband,...

The company known for American news staples like “Today” and “Meet The Press” wants to create similar journalism landmarks for audiences around the world.
NBCUniversal and Sky, both owned by parent Comcast Corp., will this summer launch NBC Sky World News, a news service aimed at English-speaking audiences around the globe. The company intends to recruit new talent as well as 100 employees to produce programming, says Deborah Turness, president of NBC News International and the executive overseeing the new outlet’s launch. NBCU and Sky will also open ten new international bureaus, she adds, “in places we feel news is under-reported.”
“We see an opportunity to begin an approach that isn’t filtered through a U.S. perspective or a British perspective or any national perspective,” says Turness in an interview from a London facility that will eventually serve as the main newsroom for the network. “We can bring our journalism to the wide world,...

Three Thai Navy SEALs and an army doctor have made it out of the flooded Tham Luang Cave where earlier they’d successfully rescued 12 boys and a soccer coach, bringing an end to a terrifying 18-day ordeal that was, at least for the last week or so, a cable news media event that challenged every latest Trump scandal for airtime.
“We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what,” read the post on the official Thai Navy Seal Facebook page this morning. “All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave.” (The Wild Boars is the name of the kids’ soccer team).
The boys and their coach are expected to spend at least one week at Chiang Rai hospital for observation and protection against possible infections.
The Facebook announcement today signaled that the last four of the boys and the 25-year-old coach had been rescued Tuesday,...

James Longman has been on site in northern Thailand for more than a week, ready to catch a glimpse of a miracle.
Longman, a veteran international correspondent for ABC News, has been one of the journalists standing by to see if divers can rescue 12 young boys and their soccer coach after they became marooned by floodwaters in Thailand’s Tham Lung network of caves. Longman and his crew try to arrive at 3:30 or 4 a.m. most days, get as much information and video as they can for ABC’s “World News,” then go back and grab a few hours of sleep so they can return and do the same thing for the network’s “Good Morning America.” He has also been preparing reports for ABC Radio, ABC News live-stream and for Walt Disney sibling ESPN.
“I really, really want to be here until the boys come out,” says Longman,...
