Forbes has included FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott in its annual list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women, joining the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Oprah Winfrey.
Scott ranked 64th on the list, ahead of Rihanna, Barbie, and several business leaders and politicians. Additionally, she was the only prominent American news organization runner on the list.
“Scott has oversight of Fox’s many linear and digital platforms, including its News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox News Books, and the recently launched Fox Weather,” Forbes wrote.
“Across these platforms, Fox reaches more than 200 million people every month; it is the number one cable news network in the U.S.”
Suzanne Scott first joined Fox News in 1996 as a programming assistant to Chet Collier, and she would climb up the ladder to eventually become the first female CEO of Fox News in 2018.
Before being promoted to CEO, Scott was the president of programming for both Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, overseeing all network programming and talent management.
