The Republican National Committee (RNC) tapped a former Microsoft and MSNBC executive on Monday to head its new media strategy, an area in which the GOP had been faulted for falling behind its Democratic opponents this past election cycle.

Todd Herman, who the RNC described as the “Streaming Media Evangelist at MSNBC.com,” will take over as the committee’s New Media Director on April 6th.
