Madeleine Haeringer, most recently a top executive at Crooked Media, is joining MSNBC as senior vice president of digital, audio and longform.
Haeringer will manage MSNBC.com, MSNBC social accounts and audio products and longform production. She will start on May 7 and report to MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler.
Her appointment is one of Kutler’s latest high-profile hires as the network prepares to be spun off from parent Comcast, along with other cable networks.

At Crooked Media, Haeringer has served as executive vice president and general manager, overseeing development, programming and editorial for the podcast-led media outlet.
Haeringer previously was senior vice president of editorial for NBC News, and also worked as executive producer of international news. She also was in the field as lead producer for NBC News’ coverage of the 2011 Arab Spring protests, and served as Middle East bureau chief for the network. She also covered the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Her documentary War Zone Diary won the Alfred I. DuPont Columbia University Award and the Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism. She also was executive producer of Vice News Tonight on HBO.
As NBC News no longer will be a sister network, Kutler is establishing an MSNBC Washington, D.C. bureau, and is hiring a head of talent and content strategy. Scott Matthews joined the network last month as senior vice president of newsgathering.
