Roll Call's Montgomery Headed to NPR--Report

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post incorrectly referred to Fishbowl DC.

Roll Call editor Scott Montgomery is leaving for a senior position at NPR, Fishbowl DC reported this morning.

From Fishbowl:

This is no doubt a big loss for the Roll Call newsroom where he was thought to be a morale center and curator of young talent. As of late, there have been a slew of layoffs at CQ Roll Call among sales personnel. He is said to be leaving on good terms. The position at NPR is significant and hard for him to pass up. Sources say he was not nudged out or laid off.

Susan Benkelman will lead Roll Call during the interim period, Fishbowl reported.
