Vargas is willingly joining this volatile stew. Beginning Monday, she’ll anchor a nightly newscast — “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” — on upstart network NewsNation.Vargas, and executives at Nexstar-owned NewsNation, are banking that there are enough sensible people left in America.
In 2021, Nexstar acquired the Washington, D.C.-focused digital publication The Hill for $130 million, and on April 24 will launch a 5 p.m. The Hill-branded panel show hosted by Leland Vittert and featuring rotating panelists including George Will and erstwhile Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt, who joined NewsNation last May. The network’s daily audience is dwarfed by more established media brands but, according to Nexstar, NewsNation reaches 70 million people each month.
“I still get messages on social media, people will stop me in airports or gyms or restaurants, and tell me that my book helped save their lives,” she says. “I can empathize with all the people in this country who are suffering, and not just with drugs or drinking, but with anxiety and depression. I feel really lucky that what turned out to be the most painful chapter in my life turned into something that I could use to help other people.
