NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim renewed his contract with Comcast’s NBCUniversal, and is in line to succeed NBC News Chairman Andy Lack
By Joe Flint and Benjamin Mullin Oct. 22, 2019 7:14 am ET Instead of breaking the big story, NBC News has become the big story.
NBC News has said Mr. Farrow’s story wasn’t ready for air when he was given permission to take it elsewhere. He took it to the New Yorker, where it ran in October 2017 and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, the highest honor in journalism. Mr. Lauer was fired from his job a month later, after a colleague accused him of sexual misconduct in an internal complaint.
“No one at NBC is happy about the fact that such a huge story wasn’t reported by NBC,” said one on-air correspondent, referring to the Weinstein story. Some staffers at NBC News say they feel a wholesale change in management is needed given the string of public missteps that the division has weathered in recent years.
“The path of least resistance is always there, beckoning seductively with an entirely plausible cover story,” Mr. Hayes said on his Oct. 14 show. “But of course, it’s the very ease of that path that makes it the enemy of the very work that we as journalists are trying to do.”
