Al Jazeera America Defections Shake Up News Channel

Financial Times: Al Jazeera America has lost a third top executive in a week as the two-year-old cable television network defended itself against charges of sexist, anti-Semitic and anti-American behavior from a former employee. Marcy McGinnis, a former CBS News executive, had run Al Jazeera America’s news operation, which she helped launch in 2013. But in March she was moved to SVP of corporate outreach. She told staff her departure was sparked by differences with senior leadership. “It’s clear they are running it from Doha.”
