Andrew Heyward Steps Out

Big changes afoot at CBS News with the announcement today that President Andrew Heyward will leave his position when his contract is up at the end of the year. In conjunction, CBS announced that CBS Sports President Sean McManus will replace Heyward at the news division while retaining his position within the sports division.

As of this morning, there's plenty of buzz surrounding these announcements and Public Eye will be here to help sort it all out so stay tuned.

I want to take this opportunity to note the important role Heyward has played in the creation of Public Eye. Not every news division president welcomes the kind of introspection and questioning PE is here to facilitate, but Heyward possessed the foresight and guts to not only cooperate with us, but support our mission. For that, he deserves credit and our thanks.

Much more to come …
