Alma Dale Campbell Brown (born June 14, 1968) is a past head of global media partnerships at Meta[3] and a former American television news reporter and anchorwoman.
[18] Brown announced July 22, 2007, on Weekend Today, that she would be leaving NBC News after eleven years to devote time to her family and expected baby.
On May 18, 2010, Brown announced that she would be leaving CNN[24] and wrote a much talked about statement where she said, “Shedding my own journalistic skin to try to inhabit the kind of persona that might coexist in that line up is simply impossible for me”.
[25] She later told the Los Angeles Times that she had originally hoped that a straight news program like hers could compete successfully against the opinion-driven shows of her competitors, Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann.
[26] After leaving CNN, Brown wrote opinion pieces for The New York Times,[27][28] The Wall Street Journal,[29] The Daily Beast[30] and Slate.
[31] Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol proposed that Brown run for Charles Schumer's Senate seat.
[32] In January 2017, Facebook announced that Brown would be joining to lead the company's news partnerships team.
[35] Brown led the development and launch of Facebook News,[36] a tab focused on news and lifestyle coverage, and Bulletin,[37] a newsletter platform for marquee writers including the memoirist Mitch Albom, the magazine writer and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell and the Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.
The group, working with the New York Daily News,[46] investigated and reported on school employees who were accused of sexual misconduct with children but still kept their jobs.
[53] In July 2015, Brown co-founded The 74,[54] a non-profit, news site covering education in America; it gets its name from the fact that there are roughly 74 million children under the age of 18 in the United States.
Brown was married to Washington, D.C. real estate broker named Peregrine Roberts for two years.
Senor was then spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq and Baghdad; Brown was one of the journalists covering the war.
In an August 2008 article, Brown addressed charges that her marriage to Senor, who at the time was working as an advisor for the Mitt Romney presidential campaign, represented a conflict of interest for her as a journalist.
Brown noted that such marriages were commonplace in Washington, with NBC reporters Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell married to a Democratic consultant and Alan Greenspan, respectively.
