Peter Bale named new head of the Center for Public Integrity

Peter Bale, former Vice President and General Manager of Digital operations at CNN International, has been named Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Public Integrity, the global nonprofit investigative journalism organization based in Washington, DC.

Bale succeeds William Buzenberg, who has served as Executive Director since 2007 and overseen countless award-winning investigations, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Breathless and Burdened. Bale is expected to begin work at the Center early in 2015, at which time Buzenberg will be moving to Boston to begin a fellowship at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
