Pecker disclosed that Howard reported directly to him and was responsible for managing the network of sources for AMI.
Pecker confirmed that Howard's role involved maintaining and nurturing relationships with potential sources to gather information for the publication. When questioned about the decision-making process for sensational stories, Pecker acknowledged that Howard consulted him before proceeding with such content.
