NPR’s executive vp for news, William K. Marimow, has reportedly been asked to take a lower position as ombudsman.
It is not clear whether Marimow will take another non-news job, accept the position or agree to a buyout, according to current and former colleagues at the broadcasting network, writes the New York Times. Currently, Marimow oversees NPR’s global news-gathering operation, which includes All Things Considered and Morning Edition.
