The local TV unit at Paramount Global’s CBS has named a new senior coordinating producer for its recently-organized Crime & Public Safety unit.
Anna Schecter Zigler will oversee the unit for CBS News & Stations, the broadcaster announced this week. She will be based in New York and start in her new role on June 17.
Adrienne Roark, the President of Content Development and Integration at CBS News & Stations, said the Crime & Public Safety department is “the next step in our evolution to deepen coverage across CBS News and Stations in key areas.”
“Crime and public safety stories matter greatly to individuals across the country, and investing in this centralized beat helps us advance our reporting in meaningful ways to serve the audience,” Roark said in a statement.
It is the latest specialized unit at CBS News & Stations set up by the operation over the past several months. Other editorial units include those dedicated to weather and climate, medical and health and transportation.
Schecter Zigler joins CBS News & Stations from NBC News, where she worked as a senior producer and head of special projects for the investigative unit. She also appeared across different NBC News Now and MSNBC programs.
