President George W. Bush nominated former Dow Jones & Co. Chief Executive Officer Peter Kann to be a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, according to a Dow Jones Newswires story Wednesday.
“A Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist for the Wall Street Journal, Kann was CEO of Dow Jones & Co. from 1991 to early 2006. He served as the company’s chairman until April 2007.
“If confirmed by the Senate, Kann would serve out the remainder of former BBG Chairman James Glassman’s three-year term, which expires in August 2010. Glassman was recently confirmed as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.”
