CBS News and Stations has introduced what it calls “a new editorial leadership structure,” with Adrienne Roark, who has been president, content development and integration, CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, and Jennifer Mitchell, who had been president, CBS Stations (West Coast-Midwest), expanding their roles.
Roark has been named president of editorial and newsgathering for CBS News and Stations, and will lead teams in the field and across newsrooms to drive the daily network news “content engine,” in CBS’s words, including correspondents, assignment desks, bureaus, booking teams, standards and practices, the Super Desk central newsgathering and storytelling platform and CBS News Radio. She will continue to lead the CBS Local News Innovation Lab in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Centers of Excellence built around data journalism, weather and specialized beats/units, WCBS-WLNY New York and WBZ-WSBK Boston.
