CHELSEA CLINTON HAS become the second daughter of a former US president to begin working at the NBC News network.

Thirty-one-year-old Clinton has been hired to work on projects for NBC Nightly News and Brian Williams’ newsmagazine, Rock Centre.

She will also report on stories for the feel-good Making a Difference Series.

Clinton is currently studying for a doctorate at Oxford, as well as working for the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative.

Former US president George W Bush’s daughter Jenna Bush Hager also works for NBC, doing stories for the Today show.

Clinton commented on her new role:

People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me.

NBC News President Steve Capus said that “given her vast experiences, it’s as though Chelsea has been preparing for this opportunity her entire life.”
