CNN CEO Chris Licht apologized to staffers on Monday for causing distractions as the network reels from an unflattering profile of his messy first year on the job.
Longtime CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour slammed her networks Trump town hall and called out her boss Chris Licht by name during a commencement speech at the Columbia Journalism School.
Embattled CNN CEO Chris Licht apologized to staffers on Monday morning for overshadowing the networks reporting. Byers, a former Zucker-era CNN media reporter who's provided scathing coverage of Licht's tenure as the network chief, swiped Zaslav's statement to Alberta, which he said was"by no means a ringing endorsement of Licht, but rather a generic, ChatGPT-style statement of support that provides him total optionality for CNN’s future." He then included the full statement that Brown had provided, revealing it primarily focused on defending CNN itself rather than Licht.
An unflattering feature about CNN CEO Chris Licht in The Atlantic has been the talk of the journalism industry since it was published on Friday. Also on Sunday, The New York Times published a feature on Zucker, whom Licht replaced last year. Zucker, whose tenure was marked by CNN's lurch to the left, was forced out ahead of the planned merger that put CNN under Warner Bros. Discovery’s control. Zucker has been annoyed by Licht's potshots at CNN's prior journalism style, and by extension, Zucker himself. The network still contains many staffers and on-air talent loyal to Zucker.
