MSNBC has hired TV-news veteran Scott Matthews as senior vice president of newsgathering and will look to hire more than 100 journalists

Scott Matthews, a veteran of CNBC and WABC’s local-news operations, among other venues, has been named senior vice president of newsgathering for MSNBC, spotlighting the progressive-news outlet’s plans as it faces a separation from NBC News in a looming spin-off of the company’s cable assets into a new company.
