“This week I depart Hearst Television a little more than five years after launching and leading its first national investigative unit.

“Thanks to my colleagues who supported us and cheered us on as we innovated and collaborated across platforms and with other newsrooms. And finally, immense gratitude to our viewers, listeners, and readers. We seek the truth for you. Now, it’s time to explore and write a new chapter in my career.”
