Revolving Door Roundup: MSNBC Names Sudeep Reddy as D.C. Bureau Chief
New chief in town: MSNBC has found a new leader for its soon-to-be operational Washington, D.C. office, naming Sudeep Reddy as bureau chief. Reddy begins his new role on Monday, June 16, and was previously the senior managing editor at Politico. He will report to Scott Matthews, who is overseeing MSNBC's newsgathering rebuild as it separates itself from the NBC News Group and becomes part of the Versant family. Exit This Week: This Week with George Stephanopoulos executive producer Brooke Brower has stepped down from overseeing ABC News' Sunday public affairs program. Before rejoining ABC News in May 2023, Brower spent nearly seven years as the managing editor for CNN Politics. New D.C. addition: CNN announced that Nooman Merchant will join the network as the supervising editor for politics based in Washington, D.C. Merchant was previously with the Associated Press as U.S. politics editor. CNN also announced that Asia Pacific office head Ellana Lee has been elevated to the newly-created global role of group senior vice president, general manager APAC, and global head of productions. In addition to her existing editorial responsibilities, Lee will lead a team focused on developing and producing sponsored content across all platforms and oversee the creation of new roles in the United States. CBS News departures: CBS News has confirmed the exit of Andre Rodriguez, who led the network's northeast bureau in New York; Maryhelen Campa, the southern bureau's lead in Dallas; and Chad Cross, senior vice president of the network's beats and enterprise unit. Their departures were part of CBS News' internal organizational changes to centralize its news gathering process and were not associated with Paramount Global's impending merger with Skydance Media.

Unexpected choice for MSNBC's new politics editor raises eyebrows
By MSNBC boss Rebecca Kutler (pictured center) has tapped a longtime Wall Street Journal reporter to helm her network's new Washington bureau. Kutler chose Sudeep Reddy for the position - her latest move since becoming the channel's president in February. The decision was likely a surprise to some considering Reddy's straight news, unbiased pedigree, which also includes a lengthy senior managing stint at Politico. Before that, Reddy, 45, spent nearly a decade with the Journal, where his coverage was deeply rooted in economics. Washington policy is also Reddy's forte, his résumé shows - something Kutler likely considered when making the decision. Meanwhile, MSNBC is simultaneously preparing for its impending split from NBC News and other NBCUniversal assets later this year. Once it does, the left-leaning station will spearhead a completely new company called Versant, which will be comprised entirely of Comcast channels. The bureau Reddy will oversee, on the other hand, was unveiled just this year - mere weeks before Kutler made waves by firing Joy Reid as one of her first maneuvers. All come as part of Kutler's greater plan for the left-leaning network, which was met with a ratings boost during Trump's first term - that's since spun the other way. However, it was Scott Matthews, MSNBC's senior vice president of newsgathering, who made the announcement regarding Reddy Thursday. Matthews said Reddy - an adjunct professor at Georgetown University from 2014 to 2021 - will start as the network's first Washington Bureau Chief on Monday, June 16. 'In this new role, Sudeep (pictured) will be responsible for building and leading MSNBC's Washington Bureau and DC-based newsgathering operation, including establishing a team of reporters to cover every corner of the nation's capital,' Matthews explained. 'Sudeep's appointment signals the importance of original and enterprise reporting for the future of MSNBC,' he continued, in a memo sent to staff. 'He will lead our Washington team to focus not just on the happenings inside Washington, but also on how decisions in the capital will impact people across the nation and around the world.' Matthews - tasked with filling holes left by the absence of NBC News resources with a host of new hires - added how skills Reddy learned during his time at Politico will prove vital to MSNBC's emerging Washington operation. 'While at Politico, he launched dozens of new products, including newsletters, podcasts, live events and digital offerings,' Matthews touted. Now, he will delegate tasks to an upstart DC team that will consists of more than 400 employees - a much larger sample set than the 150 he previously led at Politico. Reddy will lead MSNBC's upstart D.C. team after leading a team of about 150 journalists at Politico. Prior to joining Politico in 2017, Reddy was both a reporter and editor for the Journal. He will report directly to Matthews, the company said in a statement. Want more stories like this from the Daily Mail? Hit the follow button above for more of the news you need.
