NBC News and MSNBC chairman Andy Lack sent a company-wide email Wednesday offering his thoughts on the recently completed internal investigation into the conduct of former network star Matt Lauer.
“The last few months have been extraordinarily difficult, with our dedicated journalists doing some of our best work ever while we endured a painful period in the spotlight including a thorough and deserved examination,” said Lack.
“This has been felt by everyone in the organization, most importantly several of our colleagues who were deeply affected. I admire their bravery and am profoundly grateful for their candor.”
In addition to those thoughts, Lack offered a list of seven steps the company would implement to make sure that harassment would not be allowed to thrive at NBC News in the future.
