Shive, CEO of TV company Belo, named to AP board
NEW YORK — The Associated Press has named the head of television company Belo Corp. to a three-year term on the board of the not-for-profit news cooperative.
Dunia A. Shive has been Belo’s chief executive since February 2008, when Belo spun off its newspaper properties into A.H. Belo Corp. Shive previously served in executive roles at Belo and has been a member of the company’s management committee since 1998.
Shive also serves on Belo’s board and on the television board of the National Association of Broadcasters.
The AP is a global news cooperative founded in 1846. Its membership consists of about 1,500 newspapers and 5,000 radio and television stations in the United States.
The AP, which announced Shive’s appointment Thursday, has 18 directors elected by AP members. The board can appoint up to six additional directors; Shive fills one of those appointed positions.
