Ellen Weiss

‎01-06-2011 11:21 PM

Ellen Weiss, the senior vice president for news at NPR whose quick firing of the senior news analyst Juan Williams last October ignited a political and public relations firestorm, resigned Thursday at the end of an internal investigation into the dismissal.

Her resignation comes at the conclusion of an internal investigation into the firing conducted by the NPR board and the outside law firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges.

Vivian Schiller, the president and chief executive of NPR, was denied her 2010 bonus by the NPR board, which said it was concerned over her role in the firing. The board expressed confidence, however, in her leadership in the future.

Wonder if they did this over concern about having their federal funding cut.
