Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott has exited the group to take a job in government.
Scott has been named a policy advisor for innovation at the State Department.
Free Press' policy team, which is pushing hard against the Comcast/NBCU merger and for network neutrality, will be headed by Research Director Derek Turner. "We will miss Ben’s leadership, wise counsel, and strategic brilliance -- for Free Press and the overall movement for media and technology policy in the public interest," said Free Press President Josh Silver.
