James Ernest Sciutto, commonly known as Jim Sciutto, was born on March 10, 1970. Although details about his early childhood and family are not publicly known, he has become a prominent figure in American journalism. Based in Washington, D.C., Sciutto serves as CNN’s chief national security correspondent, providing in-depth reporting on U.S. foreign policy, intelligence, and military affairs. With more than two decades of experience in journalism, Sciutto maintains a respected career, though his exact net worth remains undisclosed.
Jim Sciutto attended Regis High School, a private Jesuit institution located in Manhattan, New York. He later enrolled at Yale University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese History in 1992. His academic background, particularly in East Asian studies, laid the foundation for his early reporting career focused on international affairs.
Sciutto's journalism career began with Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), where he worked as both moderator and producer for a weekly public affairs program aimed at college audiences. He then moved into international reporting as a correspondent for Asia Business News in Hong Kong. During this time, he covered pivotal events such as the transfer of Hong Kong sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China and produced reports on various countries, including Mongolia, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, and South Korea.
In 1998, Sciutto joined ABC News in its Chicago bureau before later relocating to the Washington, D.C., bureau. There, he became ABC’s senior foreign correspondent, notably covering the Pentagon and conducting assignments in over 50 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.
He reported extensively from conflict zones, including embedded coverage during the 2003 Iraq War and reporting from Afghanistan and Iran. Sciutto also delivered critical reports on Myanmar’s 2007 military crackdown and the 2008 elections in Zimbabwe. From 2011 to 2013, he served as chief of staff and senior advisor to the U.S. Ambassador to China under the Obama administration, leveraging his expertise in foreign policy.
Contrary to previous reports, Sciutto is not currently an anchor for "Good Morning America" or "ABC World News." He is presently a news anchor and chief national security correspondent at CNN, co-anchoring the network’s weekday morning program, “CNN Newsroom.”
