Jan 11 (Reuters) - NBC News appointed New York Times Deputy Managing Editor Rebecca Blumenstein to a newly created role of president of editorial, the broadcaster announced on Wednesday.
NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, who led the division since 2017, will depart in a shake-up that includes two other executive appointments.
Before that, she worked for 21 years at the Wall Street Journal, where her positions included deputy editor-in-chief, page one editor, international editor and editor of WSJ.com.
As part of the restructuring, NBC News promoted Libby Leist to executive vice president, TODAY and Lifestyle, and promoted Janelle Rodriguez to executive vice president at the NBC News NOW streaming network.
Prior to running NBC News, Oppenheim spent two years as executive in charge of the morning news broadcast TODAY.
