Luke Russert, whose eloquent eulogy for his father, the late NBC News journalist Tim Russert, moved many Americans last month, will join the network as a correspondent, NBC News announced Thursday.

Russert, 22, a May graduate of Boston College with a degree in history and communications, will cover the youth vote through the national political conventions and the general election, the network said. Russert said he would be an at-large correspondent reporting for many of NBC’s outlets, including “NBC Nightly News,” TODAY, MSNBC and msnbc.com.

“Reporting the stories will be the best team in the business, and we welcome Luke Russert to that group,” NBC News President Steve Capus said. “Never before in an election cycle has so much attention turned to the youth vote, and Luke will bring a unique perspective to covering it.”

Russert, co-host of a sports talk show on XM satellite radio with political consultant James Carville, said in an interview that he was “excited to try out television,” the medium that made a household name of his father, who oversaw NBC News’ political coverage as Washington bureau chief and moderator of “Meet the Press” for nearly two decades.
