NPR’s Vivian Schiller Gets Bonus Cut Over Juan Williams Firing
After a review, the NPR Board of Directors released its findings today on the terminating of NPR correspondent Juan Williams’ contract. Here is part of its findings:
“The Board has expressed confidence in Vivian Schiller’s leadership going forward. She accepted responsibility as CEO and cooperated fully with the review process. The Board, however, expressed concern over her role in the termination process and has voted that she will not receive a 2010 bonus.”
As you might remember, I got right in the middle of things with my on-the-fly video interview with Schiller just after Williams’ contract got cut. You can follow the whole brouhaha here, including this:
“NPR also announced that Ellen Weiss, Senior Vice-President for News, has resigned.”
As a refresher here is my Oct. 21, 2010 Schiller video interview again:
