Former CNN correspondent Alina Cho has inked a deal to join Ballantine Bantam Dell as editor-at-large. She’ll acquire style and fashion projects in the newly created position for the publisher.

Cho previously hosted “Fashion: Backstage Pass,” and profiled design icons including Karl Lagerfeld, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Anna Wintour.

“I can’t think of a better way to merge my love of the written word with my lifelong passion: fashion,” said Cho, who also has worked at ABC News and CNBC.
