CNN began a long-expected round of layoffs on Wednesday as president Chris Licht and other executives at WarnerBros. Discovery trim costs at the struggling cable news network.
Licht informed CNN employees of the cuts in a memo and acknowledged “it will be a difficult time for everyone” at the company.
“It is incredibly hard to say goodbye to any one member of the CNN team, much less many. I recently described this process as a gut punch, because I know that is how it feels for all of us,” Licht said in the memo, which was shared on Twitter by CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy.
Licht said the pink slips would begin with “a limited number of individuals, largely some of our paid contributors” as part of a “recalibrated reporting strategy.”
The company will begin notifying other impacted employees on Thursday, with additional details from Licht on CNN’s next steps to follow by that afternoon.

Something’s coming.... Don’t call it a ‘Recession’.
Makes you wonder how they will function in 2023.
What rational company would pay premium rates to advertise on CNN?
I had a nice chat with Lynn Russell at a Veterans Day event a couple years ago. You may remember her as one of the main CNN newsreaders in their glory years in the 1990s. She’s also very much a conservative.
I think it fair to say she was beyond horrified at what CNN has become.
Some good news for the day.
My cnn dream shitcan list:
Lemon
Cooper
Christiane Amanpour
And the proper jackass that is acosta
“We will defend our leftist bias to the last employee!”
Christmas came early at CNN. A pink slip and a years membership to the Jelly-of-the-Month club.
Practice “Paper of plastic?” one hundred times.
CNN cannot recover an audience until it purges its anti Trump on air personalities. In other words, everybody.
Thanks for the best good news of this day!
CNN can’t cut enough…it is a cancer on humanity…
And yet Don Lemon is still around!!!
CNN did the bidding for the Democrats, Soros, and CCP. Now they are no longer needed and will die a slow horrible death. WAKE UP FAKE NEWS! Your time is coming!
Poor Andy McCabe and Peter Strzok will have to hit the bricks. Sad. Can MSNBC budget these poor homeless waifs in?
Gut the fake news network.
I love the smell of CNN burning in the morning!
Wow! It’s a good thing CNN was never a liberal outlet as Don “Black Hole” Lemon pointed out or there would be so many more lay offs.
