CHINO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Real Life Network today announced the launch of RLN News, delivering breaking current events and commentary from a Biblical worldview. RLN News will officially make its debut by partnering with The Family Research Council on Pray Vote Stand: Decision 2024, live coverage of the election from 8:30 pm-Midnight ET on November 5.
Leading RLN’s new effort is three-time Emmy-award winning anchor and reporter Daniel Cohen, a Jewish follower of Jesus who will serve as the network’s News Director. Cohen will be based in Tel Aviv and deliver the news while connecting what’s happening in the Middle East and beyond with the Bible.
“God knew in advance our foundation of news would be coming out of the number-one spot on the planet where it matters,” said Pastor Jack Hibbs, Founder and President of the Real Life Network. “Israel is not going to go away, Jerusalem is not going away– and yet we know from the scripture that it’s going to be increasingly the epicenter of global news.”
During the past 20 years, Cohen covered some of the biggest stories in top markets. Most recently, he led Newsmax’s Jerusalem bureau as a correspondent, was a morning co-anchor on Los Angeles' highly rated "Good Day LA" on Fox 11 (KTTV), and also served as a morning anchor at CBS 8 (KFMB) in San Diego.
“This is an historic moment for the church. Israel’s relationship with the United States is critical, and the body of Christ must know and understand what’s going on biblically,” said Cohen. “Everyone watching this network will have a front row seat to what’s happening now and what’s happening in the prophetic.”
Cohen earned Emmy Awards for reporting on the Cedar Fire that devastated San Diego in 2003, the Witch Creek Fire (2007), and an FA-18 fighter jet crash in residential San Diego (2008). Currently, Cohen and his family are living through Israel’s war to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and other terror threats in the region. He recently traveled to Istanbul to cover the election of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and reported from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when President Biden visited KSA in 2022.
Cohen traveled to the Moldovan border in the early days of the Russia/Ukraine war as women and children were evacuating from the war zone and has visited Jordan and reported from ancient sites in Italy. How it all relates to Israel will always remain RLN’s focus.
Cohen earned a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Illinois, with an emphasis in political science and sociology. He currently is studying Hebrew and resides in Israel with his wife, Paige, and their three children.
