And there’s more — Field also announced the creation of a new Vice President of News position, and the hire of Bill Smee to fill this role. “Bill joins us with a strong history of leadership positions in multi-platform journalism at CNN, NBC News and Slate,” Field said. “In this new role, he will spearhead our work to enhance and expand our news brands, building on their unparalleled position in our communities and adding new products and capabilities across our broadcast, digital, podcast, and smart speaker platforms. We are very excited about the future of our news and news/talk brands and the robust opportunities that lie ahead.”
