Natalie Korach of The Wrap interviewed Connell McShane about his departure from Fox Business Network and his new job at News Nation.
Here is an excerpt:
Can you speak to how you ended up at NewsNation?
My contract expired in May at Fox Business and I had been thinking about moving on for some time because I didn’t feel like I could credibly do the job as a straight news reporter in that environment anymore. When I started to think about leaving, I then had to get onto the next part of that conversation, which is what would you like to do next? Aligning the values that I have as a journalist with the platform or network that I might end up working for was really important to me.With NewsNation — we started a conversation earlier this year. [They] came to me and said “Hey, listen, we want to put on a product that is unbiased and fact-based,” and that’s what I’ve always done, and that’s what I believe in. The fit just became the right fit.
