Forum users have noted the presence of two new faces over the last few months on CNN International.

Nima Elbagir has been reporting on a variety of stories out of Africa, while Nina dos Santos has filed several reports - dating back from early December - from CNN London.

After receiving some email enquiries, CNN Observations reached out to CNN International to confirm the status of both Nima and Nina, and CNN confirms that both correspondents are only freelancing for the network at this stage.
