The downfall of Chris Licht: A tumultuous reign at CNN.
Chris Licht stepped down as CEO of CNN after a scathing exposé in The Atlantic detailed his aloof and paranoid management style. Licht was handpicked by David Zaslav to move the network away from its "anti-Trump" messaging, but his tenure was plagued by drama and controversy that bled over from the old regime headed by Jeff Zucker. Licht apologized to staffers following the article's publication, but it proved to be too little too late. CNN announced that Licht will be replaced by a group of seasoned programming leaders, including Amy Entelis, Virginia Moseley, and Eric Sherling, while the company seeks a new chief to resuscitate the beleaguered news channel.
