Charitable giving rose in 2020, with civil rights and environmental groups benefiting.
Carrie Budoff Brown, who has led Politico’s U.S. newsroom since 2016, is leaving to join NBC News, the network announced Tuesday.
In an email to staff, Noah Oppenheim, the president of NBC News, said Ms. Brown would become a senior vice president of “Meet the Press,” a role that will put her in charge of the long-running Sunday morning public affairs show. The executive producers of “Meet the Press” and its MSNBC spinoff, “MTP Daily,” will report to Ms. Brown, Mr. Oppenheim added.
Ms. Brown, who did not immediately reply to a request for comment, joined Politico when it was a scrappy start-up in 2007. She served as a White House reporter before a stint overseeing its European newsroom from Brussels. She was promoted to U.S. editor in 2016, reporting to the editor in chief, Matthew Kaminski.
She follows other longtime Politico journalists out the door. The writers of Politico’s Playbook newsletter — Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer — along with John Bresnahan, a congressional reporter, left in December to start a rival site, Punchbowl News. Politico’s chief executive, Patrick Steel, announced in February that he would leave the company this summer.
Politico’s publisher, Robert Allbritton, told employees of Ms. Brown’s departure in an email on Tuesday.
“Her decision does not come as a surprise,” he wrote. “In recent weeks, she and I have had searching and quite gratifying conversations about her professional life, her interests and the abundant possibilities ahead of her. This choice is not what I would wish for myself, which is that she would stay at Politico to continue to learn and lead as she has done for the past decade and a half.”
“Meet the Press” has been an NBC staple since 1947. Chuck Todd has been the moderator since 2014.
