Marc Burstein, Top Producer of ABC News Special Reports, Plans to Retire
Marc Burstein, who has spent more than 20 years running ABC News coverage of special reports and events, plans to retire in January
It’s meant that not a day has gone by that I don’t go to sleep without first checking that my phone is charged and the ringer is on high,” said Burstein, senior executive producer at the news division, in a memo to staffers issued Thursday. “Marc is the trifecta of television news — steady in the storm; creative and daring when it’s over; and always the road buddy and friend who never leaves your side,” said Sawyer in a statement to Variety.
