NBC特约记者切尔西年薪高达60万

 

Clinton, who joined NBC News as a special correspondent in November 2011, was up for renewal¹ or nonrenewal this year. Instead, the sources said, the network decided² to keep her on the payroll³ on a month-to-month basis so the two parties could sever⁴ ties if Clinton's mother, Hillary Clinton, runs for president.

 

As special correspondent, Clinton worked on service-related feature assignments for NBC's "Rock Center with Brian Williams" until the show's cancellation⁵ in June 2013. Clinton has since worked on packages for NBC Nightly News. In that time, Clinton's principal occupation has been the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, where she has been a major force in steering⁶ her parents' charitable work in the final years of her mother's tenure⁷ at the State Department, and since.

 

This April, she announced that she is pregnant. Clinton is due to deliver her first child in the fall, and it's unclear whether she will resume work with NBC after that.

 

When Clinton joined NBC, many media critics chafed⁸ at the network's decision to employ a former first daughter with no experience in journalism⁹. The New York Post referred to Clinton as "just another spoiled, aimless child of rich, successful parents chauffeured¹⁰（受雇为汽车司机） through adulthood¹¹ by Mommy and Daddy's connections."

 

Yet Clinton's appointment did not mark the first time NBC Universal had hired children of high-ranking politicians. In 2009, it hired George W. Bush's daughter Jenna Bush Hager to serve as a correspondent on the "Today" show. In 2011, it hired Sen. John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain as a contributor on MSNBC. The details of Clinton's deal with NBC have been closely held since she joined the network.
