CNBC Hires An Editor-In-Chief As It Unifies TV and Digital News Teams

by

CNBC has appointed a chief editor who will now oversee the integration of their TV, digital, and direct-to-consumer content production, ensuring unity under a single management figurehead.

CNBC’s inaugural Editor-in-Chief is David Cho, who previously held the position of editor-in-chief at Barron’s and was in charge of editorial content for Dow Jones wealth and investing. Prior to that, he spent around two decades working at The Washington Post.

Cho starts next month, and will report to CNBC president KC Sullivan.

David’s promotion to Editor-in-Chief signifies a significant advancement for CNBC, as we aim to streamline editorial work across all our platforms,” said Sullivan in a statement. “Given his extensive knowledge in business journalism and proven ability as a strategic decision-maker, David is ideally suited to steer our newsroom towards the future. Under his guidance, we will strive to further enhance the credibility and clarity that are synonymous with CNBC’s valuable content, ensuring our audience receives the expertise and depth they have come to expect from us, no matter where they consume our content.

With the imminent split of CNBC into Versant, the financial news giant is undergoing a restructuring to adapt and grow more swiftly. From now on, all editorial content across TV and digital platforms will be supervised by Cho.

Cho expressed enthusiasm about joining CNBC, stating it’s a remarkable chance to contribute to the evolution of a leading brand in business news. This position allows for strengthening relationships with viewers on all channels, while upholding the credibility and quality that characterize CNBC. I look forward to working alongside such a skilled team to produce insightful, vital journalism that addresses the intricacies and urgency of our current times.
