Vivian Schiller, who stepped down as chief executive of NPR in March, has joined NBC News as chief digital officer. Reporting to NBC News President Steve Capus, Schiller will lead digital strategy for
both NBC News and MSNBC. Schiller left NPR following the controversy that arose after a secretly-recorded video revealed one of the news organization's top executives calling Republicans
"anti-intellectual" and tea party members "racists."
Prior to taking the helm at NPR, Schiller was senior VP and general manager of NYTimes.com, overseeing day-to-day operations of the Times
site. Prior to that, she was general manager of the Discovery Times Channel and also served as head of CNN Productions. She will start at NBC in mid-July. Read more here.
