TV show hires ex-president Bush's daughter

Former President George W. Bush's daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, is set to become a correspondent for NBC's "Today" starting September 14. "In previous appearances, she displayed a natural ability to communicate and connect," Jim Bell, the show's executive producer, said in a statement. "She has great passion about important subjects, especially education and literacy." Hager started teaching schoolchildren in Washington in 2005 and has served as an intern for UNICEF, touring Latin America and the Caribbean to document the plight of impoverished children. She currently is the Young Leadership Ambassador & Chair for UNICEF's Next Generation committee.
