In 2008, she relocated to Los Angeles and worked as a field reporter for two years before returning as an anchor in 2010.^[3] Chris Jansing previously anchored the 10 am hour on MSNBC weekdays on Jansing and Company, with Richard Lui regularly serving as a correspondent and substitute anchor.

As part of the role, Jansing would continue to anchor the network's breaking news coverage alongside Brian Williams, as well as provide coverage from the White House and Capitol Hill.^[7]^[8] On May 6, 2022, it was announced that with the move of MTP Daily to NBC News NOW, Jansing would take over the slot with her own hour of MSNBC Reports.^[9] Her show expanded to two hours on February 13, 2023.^[10]
