Hartman Will Be “Reassigned To Another High Post;” McManus “Made The Decision”

What will happen to Rome Hartman? He will “be reassigned to another high post at CBS News,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Paul Gough puts some distance between Katie Couric and the shakeup: “Sources said” Sean McManus “made the decision and not Couric, who also is managing editor of the broadcast, though she was aware of it happening. The broadcast’s third-place ranking in the ratings was a major factor in the decision, and the network wants a harder-edged, faster-paced newscast than has been seen in the six months since Couric took to the air.”
