Noam Galai Mark Thompson said Monday that he would remain in charge of CNN following the purchase of the new giant’s parent, Warner Bros. Discovery, by Skydance, a move that may serve to reassure many of the outlet’s staffers.
“I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for,” Thompson said of the company’s new owners., in a memo to staffers. “That’s why I will be leading CNN into this new chapter as it becomes one of Skydance’s suite of major media assets and global brands, and leading it as an independent Editor-in-Chief with the same responsibilities and prerogatives that I have now.”
