Changes are coming to CBS News and Stations as they’re re-imagining its logistics squad, and Dave Hawthorne will oversee the new group, per TV Newser.
“Today we are bringing network, Newspath, and streaming logistics under one roof,” CBS News ep of Special Events David Reiter wrote in an internal memo.
“This merging of office operations and field logistics will reduce silos while continuing to serve the bureaus, shows, and platforms whenever and wherever they need support.”
Hawthorne has been with the network for a few decades now when he started at CBS News as an intern and then transitioned to broadcast associate.
Afterward, he moved to CBS Newspath, the company’s global news gathering service, in the mid-1980s, working in various roles such as associate producer, producer, and senior producer.
In his most recent position, Hawthorne worked closely with the special events and newsgathering teams.
“We will be able to better use the combined resources of News, Newspath & Stations for big events, planned and unplanned on all platforms,” Reiter added.
“Please join us in congratulating Dave on the next step in his impressive career and thanking the entire Logistics team for their continued outstanding work.”
