Signing Off at NBC News

Cynthia McFadden, who worked for years at ABC News, before moving over to NBC, says she is signing off.

"It is hard to leave a job you love but this is the right time - I have a list of things I have often said I wanted to do ‘someday'. Well, someday is now, while I am still raring to go - and playing with a relatively full deck," McFadden said in an email to colleagues Friday. Maybe I'll even surprise you (and myself!)"

On jumping from ABC to NBC, McFadden said in her email, "I am so happy I took the leap. These have been some of the most gratifying and productive years in a long career.  NBC encouraged me to tell complex and nuanced stories - often about injustice and corruption, especially about the troubles children face - from rural Mississippi to the Triangle of death in the Central African Republic - from the Red Cloud reservation to the mica mines of Madagascar and the mothers of Camp Lejeune. From the American Arctic and the Rohingya camps to the Peruvian gold mines and cancer alley.  Sometimes the stories led to hearings, federal investigations or policy changes. Sometimes we were able to give a voice to someone who had never had one."

McFadden is a top-notch Reporter who never posted a dance video on TikTok and put her makeup on with recording on her iPhone.

She will be missed.
