Former White House Communications Chief Hope Hicks to Join Fox
--------------------------------------------------------------

In media news, former White House communications director Hope Hicks is
joining Fox as chief communications officer. Fox, which is a new company
resulting from last year's purchase of 21st Century Fox by Disney, will
run Fox News, a channel preferred by many conservatives, including the
president. Hicks resigned from the White House in April. In July, former
Fox News co-president Bill Shine was appointed as the new White House
communications director. He was ousted from the network after being
accused of helping to enable and cover up sexual harassment by disgraced
late CEO Roger Ailes.
