Teri Everett, senior VP of corporate affairs and communications for News Corporation, is leaving the company on Feb. 10.
“While it might be a tired cliché, I am ready for something new,” she said, following months of dealing with the company's U.K. hacking scandal.

News. Corp., which announced Everett's departure, said senior VP and chief communications officer Julie Henderson, who leads West Coast communications, will expand her current roles to include global communications, corporate affairs and CSR, in the wake of Everett’s exit.
Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch in a statement called Everett “one of our most effective and well-liked executives,” saying he respects her decision to leave the company.
Everett joined the media giant in 2000 as VP of corporate communications in Los Angeles. She called the decade-long stint the “highlight of my career.”
Henderson worked on the agency side at mPRm before joining News Corp.’s Fox Interactive Media in 2006.
Last year, News Corp. expanded Henderson’s role to include “corporate strategy” under president and COO Chase Carey.
