Former CNN host Soledad O’Brien is joining Al-Jazeera America as a special correspondent, the network announced Monday.

Miss O’Brien will contribute short-form segments to the network’s prime-time current affairs magazine program, “America Tonight,” and her production company, Starfish Media Group, will produce hourlong documentary specials, the company said.

“O’Brien’s career producing and reporting on the human side of many of the most important stories of the past decade will fit in perfectly with what Al-Jazeera America will be covering every day,” said Ehab Al Shihabi, executive director of Al Jazeera’s international operations. “Her dedication to that type of journalism is what makes it so exciting to announce that she and her production company are joining the Al-Jazeera America team.”

“I look forward to beginning a relationship with Al-Jazeera America, which has made a commitment to producing quality programming and pursuing underreported stories,” Miss O’Brien, the former “Starting Point” anchor, said. “I am thrilled to be back in business with Kim Bondy, who is a long-time friend and among the finest journalists in the broadcast news business today. With this agreement, Starfish continues its expansion as a cross-platform media company dedicated to compelling storytelling and enterprise journalism.”

Ms. Bondy, “America Tonight’s” senior executive producer, said she was delighted to have a journalist such as Miss O’Brien as part of the broadcast.

“Soledad and I have worked together since 1997, so I know she cares deeply about covering the human side of a story based solely on the facts,” she said. “That’s a perfect fit for ‘America Tonight,’ which will go beyond statistics and headlines to provide an in-depth, unbiased look at the events of the day and how they affect our viewers.”
