Ken Stern resigns as NPR CEO

CEO Ken Stern is leaving NPR, the network's board of directors announced today. The board did not explain why Stern was leaving, but several unnamed sources suggested reasons to NPR's own Frank Langfitt. Dennis Haarsager, chair of NPR's board, is taking over as interim CEO.
