WGBH said today it's hired the editorial producer for This Week with George Stephanopolous as its news director.
Kate McCarthy Zachry, who lives in JP, had previously worked as a producer and digital producer for Good Morning America.
The station also announced it's hired Aaron Schachter of PRI’s The World will join WGBH News to help beat back WBUR as its new executive producer and editor for WGBH Radio, a job in which he will presumably work to take ratings away from WBUR.
Both start in October.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

How about hiring (back) Eric Jackson and giving us (back) decent jazz in the evening, instead of re-heated PC pablum from Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, and the rest of the NPR all stars.
You're not a news station. You prove it every time you float out some one like Callie Crossley or Heather Gladstone or some other trust-funded dilletante. Don't do what you can't do.

It's possibly obscure and only of interest to people in the news business, but being an "editorial producer" doesn't mean one's writing editorials or columns. "Editorial" is another term for "Newsroom," at least in mediaspeak.
Just sign me, former ink-stained wretch in the editorial department ...
Conflict?

no. But be prepared to be bombarded by Republican press releases. The Sunday shows are little more than PR readers for whomever sends them stuff to read these days. Stephanopolous is like the only reason McCain is still relevant to anyone.

Adam is right. And in broadcast news, editorial positions are distinct from technical positions. I assume it has nothing to do with op-ed.

At least they didn't get bought by Murdoch like National Geographic has been.
