John King (journalist)

John King (journalist)

John King (born August 31,1964) is an American journalist.

In 1985, King joined the Associated Press where he began as a writer. In 1987 he broke the story that a juror in the case of Benjamin LaGuer, an inmate proclaiming his innocence, accused other members of the panel of uttering racist remarks before and during deliberations. This journalistic coup would lead to a major controversy in the 2006 Massachusetts governor's race in which Democrat Deval Patrick was criticized for asking the parole board to release the prisoner. In 1991, King was named chief political correspondent and headed the AP's political coverage of the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections.

In 1997, King joined CNN where he served as the senior White House correspondent from 1999 to 2005. In 2005, King was named CNN's chief national correspondent. He frequently serves as an analyst on the nightly news programs "The Situation Room" and "Anderson Cooper 360" and sometimes fills in as anchor.

King also uses the Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall, nicknamed the "Magic Wall" or "Magic Map." First used during the primaries of the 2008 presidential campaign, it allows him to display and manipulate various graphics and maps relating to poll and election results.

King attended Boston Latin School, and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Rhode Island. In 2008, King married fellow CNN reporter Dana Bash.
