KNSD San Diego has hired four new reporters in Chris Chan, Diana Guevara, Nicole Gonzales and Lea Sutton. It's a net gain of four bodies in the NBC Owned Television Stations outlet's newsroom, underscoring the Comcast-backed group's commitment to enhancing its stations' news product.  

Chan, who began his career at CNBC Asia, comes on board as a general assignment reporter. Guevara, who is bilingual, joins as a reporter with a special concentration on the border and issues affecting San Diego's Hispanic community. Gonzales comes from KSL Salt Lake City, and also worked as a traffic reporter at KTLA Los Angeles. A former Navy fighter pilot, Sutton will be devoted to military issues. She comes from NBC News' Washington bureau.

"We are very excited to add several strong journalists to our staff. They will help us cover more important issues and better serve our viewers," said Greg Dawson, vice president of news at KNSD. "They each bring a background that will strengthen our expertise in several important beats such as the military, the economy and the growing Hispanic community."
