NBC News’ longtime president, Noah Oppenheim, is stepping down but will stay with NBCUniversal to produce movies and scripted television shows, the company announced Wednesday. Oppenheim, who led NBC News for six years and oversaw the "TODAY" show for two years before that, will produce projects in partnership with NBCUniversal, Cesar Conde, the chairman of the NBCUniversal News Group, said in a statement to employees. Rebecca Blumenstein, a deputy managing editor of The New York Times since 2017, will step into the new role of president of editorial, Conde said. "We are excited for his new chapter and that he will continue to work closely with NBCUniversal in this new role," Conde said of Oppenheim. "We are grateful for his leadership and the many accomplishments of NBC News during his tenure." Reference Link
