The CBS News president Neeraj Khemlani stepped down on Sunday after a little more than two years in his post, the latest executive reshuffling in a tumultuous period for television news.
Mr. Khemlani had been in charge of flagship programs such as “CBS Evening News,” and “60 Minutes.” He will remain at CBS in a different capacity, he told staff in an internal email.
He has signed a multiyear deal to develop content for the conglomerate, including documentaries, series and books.
“It’s an opportunity that will allow me to write, report and develop stories that I’ve long wanted to pursue,” Mr. Khemlani said in the email.
He had been co-head of the news division with the local news veteran Wendy McMahon, who will remain in her role.
