Marita Vlachou is a breaking news reporter for HuffPost based in London, United Kingdom.
CEO and chairman Mark Thompson on Monday said the network “is still nowhere near ready for the future” on his first day in the role.
Thompson said CNN’s digital platforms “lag well behind the current state of the art” but added that the organization’s new streaming platform offers hope for optimism. In 2022, the news organization launched CNN+, but the platform was killed just weeks after going live following the network’s acquisition by Warner Bros. Discovery.
“Let’s cover political news proportionately and fairly but not be frightened by our own shadows,” Thompson said., as well as the network’s low ratings, but his fate was sealed following the publication of an unflattering 15,000-word profile by Tim Alberta for The Atlantic.
