Puck reported CNN CEO Mark Thompson will announce to his staff about the network cuts on Thursday morning, while CNBC reported that the layoffs “won’t affect CNN’s most recognizable names, who are under contract,” according to sources.
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“I am overall very sad and deeply frustrated,” a longtime CNN staffer told Fox News Digital. “Feelings which are pervasive throughout the organization among those who have been here a long time and feel a deep personal connection to having helped build the organization.”
“It’s a time of a complete and utter business model overhaul and chaos. Extremely difficult even under the best circumstances,” the CNN staffer added.
