Fox News said that it would fill some of the duties of late executive Alan Komissaroff with a series of leadership changes.
Komissaroff, who had been senior vice president of news & politics, died in January at age 47.

Doug Rohrbeck, who is senior vice president of Washington news & politics, and Jessica Loker, who is vice president of politics & senior executive producer of Fox News Sunday, will jointly lead the network’s politics team, which includes managing all debate and election coverage.
