About Melissa Mahtani
Emmy-nominated broadcast journalist with two decades of experience working for global media organizations such as CNN, CBS News, ITN, France 24, and the Guardian. My career includes both behind-the-scenes leadership and on-camera roles. I have edited investigative reports, anchored live events, and hosted interactive interviews on TV, digital, and social platforms. Most recently, as the Executive Producer of CBS News Confirmed, I hired and led a team dedicated to exposing misinformation and empowering the public to distinguish between fact and fiction.
