Radio New Zealand has initiated an appointment process to
find a replacement for Chief Executive and Editor-in-Chief, Peter
Cavanagh, when he completes his term later this year.
In making the announcement that he will be stepping down from the
role at the end of the year, Peter Cavanagh emphasised the importance of
a smooth transition for the public service broadcaster.
“I have advised the Board that after ten years as CEO of Radio New
Zealand, I will not be seeking to renew my contract when it expires in
December. I am announcing my decision now to give the Board as much time
as possible to find the best person to lead the organisation into the
future.
“It has been a great privilege for me to lead a world class public
service broadcaster like Radio New Zealand over the past decade, but at
the end of the year it will be time for me to move on to other things.
Radio New Zealand Chairman, Richard Griffin, says the Board has
initiated a recruitment process to appoint a new CEO and details posted
on the Radio New Zealand website indicate that applications will be
considered by a sub-committee of the Board.
Peter Cavanagh’s announcement has given the Board a long lead time to
identify and appoint the best available person to head our world class
public service broadcaster and we are in a very strong position as we
commence that process. "
