CBS says that network executive vp Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews will become acting bureau chief as of July 6.
Chris Isham, who has been the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for CBS News since July 2007, will step down from that role to become executive producer of the network's 2020 election coverage, according to a memo sent by CBS News president Susan Zirinsky to staff Wednesday. After the election, "Chris will be moving on to write his next chapter," Zirinsky writes.
CBS says that network executive vp Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews will become acting bureau chief as of July 6 and will help lead the search for Isham's successor alongside Zirinsky and executive vp Kim Godwin.
"Ingrid will be reaching out to many of you for your input as we take this opportunity to evolve our organization," Zirinsky writes. "She wants to hear from you."
