The former CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller, forced to resign after a scandal over the news organization's fund raising in March, has been snapped up just three months later by NBC News, where she’ll oversee digital projects.
NBC announced that Schiller, who left NPR under fire, will be the network’s chief digital officer—a new position created just for her.
Allthingsd.com reports that she will report to the head of NBC News, Steve Capus.

Schiller is the daughter of Ronald Schiller, a former editor at Reader’s Digest, and Lillian Schiller of Larchmont, New York.
She graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Russian studies and Soviet studies, and a Master’s degree in Russian from Middlebury College.
From 1985 to 1988, she worked as an interpreter and tour guide in the USSR, then began working for Turner Broadcasting as a “fixer.”
Schiller spent several years in television as a producer, working on documentaries like “Survivors of the Holocaust,” for which she shared an Emmy, and “Word Wars,” which looked at the world of competitive Scrabble.
Before arriving at NPR, Schiller was the senior vice president and general manager of NYTimes.com, where she oversaw “product, technology, marketing, classifieds, strategic planning and business development,” according to her official NPR bio.
Schiller joined NPR in January 2009 as the organization’s president and CEO.
