Industry Veteran Returns to Journalism Roots, Accepts Position
with CNN
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--The FeedRoom Inc., a leading provider of web video and digital
media solutions and services, today announced that Chairman Bart Feder
has stepped down and accepted a position as senior vice president,
programming, for CNN/US. Marc Singer, a member of the board of
directors, will resume the role of chairman.

   The move ends a near-decade long tenure at The FeedRoom for Feder,
who helped co-found the company in 2000 and was its CEO from November
2004 to September 2007, when he was elevated to the role of chairman
following the appointment of current CEO Mark Portu. During his
three-year stint as CEO with The FeedRoom, Feder played a lead role in
establishing the company's leadership position in the publishing,
corporate and government sectors.

   "Bart's contributions to The FeedRoom cannot be overstated and he
leaves having positioned us for future growth and success," Portu
said. "Our commitment to providing our customers with the best digital
media infrastructure and solutions is as strong as it's ever been and
Bart has played a major role in that."

   Feder's move to CNN represents a return to his professional roots.
Prior to joining The FeedRoom, he was news director at WABC-TV in New
York, where he received numerous local and national journalism awards
including the prestigious DuPont-Columbia Silver Baton in 1998. Feder
began his career as news director for network-affiliated stations in
Boston, Sacramento and Jacksonville.

   "The time I have spent with The FeedRoom has been among the most
rewarding professional experiences of my life and it was a difficult
decision knowing the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead," Feder
said. "This is an exciting new challenge and I appreciate all of the
support I've received."
