NPR's New CEO

The new CEO is a she. (I think that’s a first for NPR…) And she has NO RADIO EXPERIENCE.

I’m excited.

Gawker’s posted her memo to NYTimes.com staff.

Here she is talking about doing online video for NYTimes.com:

Sounds like she’s got a lot of experience doing online news as well as long format programming for cable.

I wish her luck with NPR politics. She’s stepping into a pretty charged situation.
