Cynthia McFadden, Veteran of NBC News and ‘Nightline,’ to Exit
Cynthia McFadden, the longtime TV-news correspondent whose career took her from ABC News 'Nightline' to a senior role at NBC News, is retiring
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. McFadden had on occasion filled in for him and took some of the reins of the late-night news program as it worked to keep up with modern audiences and sometimes tackled lifestyle topics and celebrity interviews. NBC encouraged me to tell complex and nuanced stories — often about injustice and corruption, especially about the troubles children face — from rural Mississippi to the Triangle of death in the Central African Republic — from the Red Cloud reservation to the mica mines of Madagascar and the mothers of Camp Lejeune.
