Taking over from Debora is Patrick Conroy, who becomes general manager for eNews, in this newly created position.
Both in my opinion are excellent. Both are experienced, highly skilled and uber journo's with a exceptional caliber of work, news cred and come with years of bona fide hands-on journalism under the belt.
Debora will now focus solely on 3rd Degree. She took over as eNews chief in 2005, but stayed on as host and executive producer of 3rd Degree.
''This has been a very difficult decision, but I believe it is right for me to follow my passion for journalism,'' she says. ''Given the pressures of producing an investigative programme and the demanding job as editor in chief, it would have become unsustainable to do both in the long run. In the end it came down to my passion for journalism.''
Debora will take on the role of chief anchor and will continue producing and hosting 3rd Degree as well as train and mentor e.tv's TV journalists.
