CNN, or Cable News Network, has a new chairman and chief executive officer. The news channel’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., hired veteran media personality, Mark Thompson, to lead the group.
Thompson previously worked at BBC News and The New York Times, where he held the same role that he will assume at CNN. As the new leader, he is now expected to help the organization recover as its ratings continue to fall. He was actually hired as part of the company’s attempt to turn around the channel that has been losing viewers in the past two years.
Associated Press News reported that Thompson was appointed by Warner Bros. Discovery’s head, David Zaslav. He personally announced that the company found a replacement for Chris Licht, who was terminated in June. The new CEO is set to take over on Oct. 9.
At any rate, in his new job post, Thompson will be at the forefront as CNN works on its strategy to revive ratings. He will also oversee the operations and various divisions in the network, including its global units, streamings, and channels. He will lead a workforce of about 4,000 employees around the world.
“There isn’t a more experienced, respected or capable executive in the news business today than Mark, and we are thrilled to have him join our team and lead CNN Worldwide into the future,” Zaslav said in a press release. “Mark is a true innovator who has transformed for the digital age two of the world’s most respected news organizations. His strategic vision, track record in transformational leadership and sheer passion for news make him a formidable force for CNN and journalism at this pivotal time.”
Thompson also commented, “I couldn’t be more excited about the chance to join CNN after years of watching it and competing against it with a mixture of admiration and envy and I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and get down to work with my new colleagues to build a successful future for CNN.”
