Fox News Bets Lawrence Jones Can Win New Viewers from Surprising Places
Fox News is betting on one of its youngest anchors, Lawrence Jones, to win younger viewers from digital venues like TikTok and Instagram
And though he’s a co-anchor on the outlet’s long-running “Fox & Friends” morning show, he often does so from thousands of miles away from colleagues Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, visiting voters in diners and barbershops or talking to people at the center of a natural disaster or shooting tragedy, “So often when you get behind the desk, you get isolated from the people you are supposed to be serving,” says Jones during a recent interview in his office at Fox News headquarters in New York, where his dog, Nala, waits for his return following a morning broadcast. “I feel if I was a liberal black man that hosted his own show in his 20s and now is part oof a franchise, there would be more coverage of what we are doing, but because it’s Fox News, and I’m more of a freedom-loving conservative, that’s not considered progress.”
