Longtime “Meet The Press” executive producer Betsy Fischer Martin announced Friday that she was leaving NBC News.

After 11 years as executive producer of the network’s flagship Sunday morning news program, Fischer left that role last summer to become NBC News’ senior executive producer and managing editor of political programming.

Chelsea Clinton also announced Friday that she was departing NBC News in order to prepare for the birth of her first child and focus on her work with the Clinton Global Initiative.
