Errol Barnett is the first and only Black British broadcaster on American Television. The Emmy-winning news anchor has built a journalism career spanning more than two decades with assignments that have taken him across five continents. Most of his work has been with CBS, the most watched channel in America and CNN, the most honored brand in cable news. Barnett has anchored many CBS Special Reports from the New York and Washington, D.C. studios, most recently during the 2024 Iranian missile attacks on Israel. For six weeks, he lead CBS News streaming coverage of the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, and reported from outside the lower Manhattan courthouse delivering the historic guilty verdict on all 34 counts on CBS TV. As a National Correspondent for CBS, Barnett was widely cited for exchanges with Presidents Joe Biden, Donald Trump and an incident with the U.S. Secret Service, as part of his tenacious style of pressing for answers on the biggest issues of our time from wherever they happen. Previously he anchored "CNN Newsroom", and served as a foreign correspondent for CNN taking up posts in several bureaus including London, England, Johannesburg, South Africa and Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Barnett's journalism career started at age 18 at the youth network Channel One News based in Los Angeles, and at the time he reported on the 9/11 attacks, New England heroin epidemic and emergence of school shootings. He occasionally shares his insight at forums for the United Nations, Milken Institute, the UK Consulate in New York, among others.
