Schiller resigns in wake of controversy.

NPR Chief Executive Vivian Schiller has resigned, said The New York Times. NPR has been under scrutiny as of late, which included a video being released that showed an NPR executive criticizing Republicans and the Tea Party. Schiller said she was unaware of the comments made.

This was the second major incident NPR has dealt with recently Last fall NPR fired Juan WIlliams for on-air comments he made.

Until a replacement can be found, there will be an interim chief executive.
