Andrew Heyward
Andrew Heyward is a senior advisor to Marketspace LLC, a subsidiary of Monitor Group that specializes in helping companies make effective and profitable use of digital technology to interact with their customers.
Heyward was President, CBS News, from January 1996-November 2005.
During that time, CBS News programming grew significantly in audience, regularly scheduled hours and profitability. Under Heyward’s leadership, CBS News’s tradition of journalistic quality and integrity was recognized with an extraordinary number of broadcast journalism’s most prestigious awards: 57 News and Documentary Emmys, 13 Peabody, 13 Alfred I. DuPont/Columbia University, six Overseas Press Club and 46 RTNDA/Edward R. Murrow Awards. The list of Murrows includes seven for Overall Excellence: four for television—including 2003, 2004 and 2005—and three on the radio side.
Heyward also spearheaded CBS News’s move into new media. Its award-winning website, CBSNews.com, became increasingly competitive and was a leader in providing free, advertiser-supported broadband video. Heyward also was a key force in the establishment of the leading financial news website, CBS MarketWatch, and served on its board of directors from its founding in 1997 to its acquisition by Dow Jones in January 2005.
Before his tenure as President, Heyward was executive producer, CBS EVENING NEWS, and Vice President, CBS News (October 1994-January 1996). Heyward was also responsible for developing and launching 48 HOURS, the primetime CBS News hour that premiered in January 1988. He has won 12 national Emmy Awards.
Heyward was born in New York. He was graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a B.A. in history and literature. He and his wife, Jody Gaylin, live in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y. They have three children.
