Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Cynthia McFadden, the TV-news veteran whose career has taken her from co-anchoring ABC News‘ “Nightline” to a senior perch on NBC News‘ investigations team, is stepping away from broadcast journalism. “It is hard to leave a job you love but this is the right time — I have a list of things I have often said I wanted to do ‘someday’. Well, someday is now, while I am still raring to go — and playing with a relatively full deck,” McFadden said in a note to colleagues Friday.
Maybe I’ll even surprise you (and myself!)” Her work at NBC News has taken the veteran correspondent to Central Africa to report on a humanitarian crisis to Camp Lejeune, where she probed why veteran U.S. Marines and wives and daughters stationed at the North Carolina training facility lost babies after being exposed to toxic water. A one-hour special report on that topic appeared last week on the live-streaming service NBC News Now.
Over the course of a three-decade career, McFadden has been able to both travel the world to investigate humanitarian crises and human slavery and to explore issues of justice and national security. She joined ABC News in February 1994 as a legal correspondent after logging a stint as the executive producer of Fred Friendly’s Media and Society seminars based at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. In October of 2005, she was named co-anchor of “Nightline” after Ted Koppel stepped down from his founding stint as the face of the program.
