Noah Oppenheim, president of NBC News since early 2017, will leave the organization in a shake-up that will elevate three different executives.
Under a new structure, Libby Leist, the NBC News executive who oversees “Today,” and Janelle Rodriguez, the NBC News executive who supervises the streaming outlet NBC News Now and streaming, will both report to Conde. They will be joined by, a senior editor at The New York Times who will join as president of editorial for NBC News and who will also report to Conde.
The New York Times previously reported on Blumenstein’s move to NBC and Oppenheim’s decision to step down. Speculation about Oppenheim’s departure has swirled among agents and NBC News personnel for weeks, only to be denied by NBC News spokespeople. But the executive, who had carved out a career as a screenwriter before rejoining NBC News to take the helm of “Today” in 2015, is known to have several projects in the works with other parts of NBCUniversal, including a potential series based on the news business.
“After two years overseeing Today, and almost six years leading NBC News, I’ve decided it’s time for me to return to my other love – writing and producing TV and movies. I leave with enormous pride in all that we’ve accomplished together,” Oppenheim said in a memo on Wednesday. He added that he would “remain part of the NBCU family moving forward. Soon, I’ll be launching a new venture with our colleagues in television and film on the west coast. More to come on that.
