RD Recap: New Hires at BuzzFeed; Caroline Fairchild Joins LinkedIn

The MSNBC shake-up continues with Michael Weisman jumping to the top of “Morning Joe.” The new head made his name working on live sport broadcasts, including the Olympics, the World Series and the Super Bowl, and owns 24 Emmys. Weisman’s next challenge: bring “Joe” back to the top of the morning cable ratings after falling behind CNN’s “New Day,” which it has trailed in the crucial 25-54 demo for more than half a year. Current executive producer Alex Korson will remain in the role, although for how long remains to be seen.
