Why Did Chuck Todd Leave NBC?
In a memo to NBC staff obtained by USA Today, Chuck cited his upcoming “new projects” as the reason behind his departure from NBC. He also thanked the media network for letting him take his “ChuckToddcast” with him.
“There’s never a perfect time to leave a place that’s been a professional home for so long, but I’m pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from ‘pie in the sky’ to ‘near reality,'” Chuck wrote in his memo. “So, I’m grateful for the chance to get a jump start on my next chapter during this important moment. … Needless to say, I do plan to continue to share my reporting and unique perspective of covering politics with data and history as important baselines in understanding where we were, where we are and where we’re going.”
The Miami native pointed out that the media business “has a lot of work to do to win back the trust of viewers/listeners/readers, and I’m convinced the best place to start is from the bottom up.”
“We can’t tolerate propagandists. But it doesn’t mean sticking your head in the sand either,” Todd explained, before advising, “If you ignore reality, you’ll miss the biggest story.”
Chuck further described himself as an entrepreneur at his “core,” spending his first 15 years working for “the company that started the political newsletter craze that dominates today,” adding that this moment “is a ripe moment” for media.
“National media can’t win trust back without having a robust partner locally and trying to game algorithms is no way to inform and report,” Chuck concluded. “People are craving community and that’s something national media or the major social media companies can’t do as well as local media.”
