John Kelly is joining CBS News and Stations as VP of data journalism. He starts Monday, November 13, and will report to Adrienne Roark, president of content development and integration for CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. He will oversee a team of data journalism at CBS News and Stations.
Kelly comes from ABC, where he led the data journalism program for both ABC News and the ABC Owned Television Stations.
Kelly has won two national Edward R. Murrow Awards and has been a finalist for two Pulitzer Prizes. Previously, he founded and led a nationwide investigative unit for USA Today Network’s 100-plus newspapers and television stations.
“This is an incredible opportunity to collaborate with many of the finest journalists and storytellers in the industry,” Kelly said. “We will use data to power investigations that reveal challenges in our communities and help find solutions that improve people’s lives. I look forward to contributing to the next chapter of news excellence at CBS.”
