With a Tweet today, Twitter announced Chief Digital Officer of NBC Vivian Schiller as head of its News Partnerships. Schiller will be leaving NBC News at year's end and joining Twitter in January.
Schiller had been rumored as the choice for Twitter's head of news for some time, including a report from All Things D earlier this month that she was a ‘lock' for the role.
Excited to join @Twitter as Head of News in January. Leaving @NBCNews at year's end. Grateful to my beloved colleagues for 2+ great years.
