Mary Hager's Rad Departure from CBS After 35 Years

Hey there, fellow skaters and news buffs! So, I just heard that Mary Hager, the long-time Senior Executive Producer of CBS's ‘Face the Nation,’ is shredding out of CBS News after an epic 35-year ride. Talk about a career that rolls like a sweet kickflip! She’s been at the helm of ‘Face the Nation’ for the past 15 years, guiding the show through the gnarly waves of political discourse.

Mary joined the CBS squad way back in 1991 as a researcher, and she’s pretty much cruised through the ranks, taking on various roles like producer for the CBS Evening News and even working in the Atlanta bureau. It’s like she’s been on this totally rad journey, from the ground up, and now she’s ready for her next adventure. Sounds like she’s stoked to hang up her skate shoes and try something new!

But wait, there’s more! It’s not just Mary who’s rolling out. Anne Hsu, who has also been a major player as executive producer on the show, is jetting off to the Hong Kong bureau. It’s like a whole new lineup is ready to take over, and I’m curious to see how it’ll all unfold. Change can be a wild ride, but sometimes it leads to even more awesome things!

In the backdrop of Mary’s departure, we’ve got some serious shifts happening across CBS and other media giants, with companies like Skydance offering buyouts to cut costs. It’s a bit of a shake-up in the industry, and it makes you think about how the media landscape is always changing, kind of like trying to land that perfect trick on your board. You gotta adapt and roll with it!

As Mary Hager rides off into the sunset, let’s take a moment to appreciate her contributions to journalism and the way she’s shaped ‘Face the Nation.’ Here’s to new beginnings, and may her next chapter be filled with as much excitement as a front-row spot at a Warped Tour show! Keep it rad, everyone!
