NPR Chief Executive Ousted After Fights With Board
The chief executive of National Public Radio has left the organization after a number of disputes with the Board of Directors, reports The Washington Post.
The board declined to renew Ken Stern’s contract yesterday, a decision that NPR did not discuss with the newspaper but that some people at NPR attribute to disputes between Mr. Stern and the board members over new and expanded programs.
Dennis L. Haarsager, the board’s chairman and general manager of Northwest Public Radio, will take over for Mr. Stern until the organization finds a permanent replacement.

Bob Edwards is somewhere…smiling over all of this.

Well, Doug… Bob Edwards might indeed be chuckling over any and every problem NPR has, but Ken Stern had nothing to do with Edwards’ dismissal. Stern was indeed COO during the Edwards departure, but it wasn’t his decision. Besides, I’d bet Edwards is happier where he is now — he gets more money and has much more control over his work.
