Former CNN Boss Jeff Zucker Eyes Unlikely Next Role: British Media Mogul

Jeff Zucker ran NBC’s “Today” show as a young executive producer and was CNN’s boss for nearly a decade. Now, the television veteran is angling for a very different assignment: turn conservative British news publications into global brands. 

Zucker is heading an investment group that has become the top contender to buy the Telegraph and the Spectator, a newspaper and a magazine that are both more than 150 years old.
