We are pleased to announce that Francesca Regalado is joining the breaking news hub in Seoul as a reporter.
In her new role, Francesca will report on big breaking news and high interest-stories from around the world for the hub, a joint venture of the Express and Live teams. She will also help us stay on top of news while the U.S. sleeps.
Most recently, she has been a correspondent for Nikkei Asia, the Japanese news agency, in Bangkok, where she covered Thailand’s politics and economy, and worked on enterprise projects that included an investigation into the illicit drug trade and scam network in Southeast Asia. Before her time in Thailand, she was a reporter for Nikkei Asia in Tokyo and an economics reporter for the Yomiuri Shimbun, one of Japan’s biggest newspapers, in Washington, D.C.
Francesca is no stranger to The Times. She was a Dow Jones News Fund fellow assigned to the International desk in New York in 2016. She then returned to Seton Hall, where she graduated with an undergraduate degree in 2017. In 2019, she obtained a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.
Former colleagues say she’s a tireless reporter who runs toward the news, embraces alternative story formats and works well across different subject matters. She also brings experience covering the region and fluency in multiple languages, including Tagalog and Russian.
