| Gary Knell |
The board of trustees of the National Geographic Society
announced today that Gary E. Knell has been selected to succeed John M. Fahey
as president and chief executive officer. Fahey will continue to serve as
chairman of the board. Knell's appointment will occur later this year,
following a transition from his current role as president and CEO of National
Public Radio.
Knell has served as president and CEO of National Public
Radio, one of the country's most influential news organizations, since December
2011. Under his leadership, NPR has solidified its position in a rapidly
changing media environment due to Knell's ability to leverage the
organization's extensive network of member stations, drive cross-platform
journalism and cultural programming, grow philanthropic and corporate
underwriting support and draw new audiences to NPR's distinct offerings. A
strong advocate of innovation, Knell has made possible the exploration of new
technologies that advance NPR's core mission and grow audience for all of
public media.
