After the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and shutdown of streamer CNN+, CNN lost a slew of top executives. Insider identified 21 accomplished pros from across the network who are on the market. It was a year of sweeping layoffs and organizational changes at CNN in 2022 as Warner Bros. Earlier in 2022, CNN cut 239 jobs following the abrupt closure of news streamer CNN+.
Hundreds of CNN employees were notified of layoffs Thursday as part of CEO Chris Licht's efforts to transform the cable news network. Licht sent a memo to all staffers Thursday afternoon after the news was delivered to employees, which included long-time HLN anchor Robin Meade and reporter Chris Cillizza.

A second acting head of CNN, EVP programming Michael Bass, stepped down late last month. CNN International is also expected to experience a rejig of teams and bureau, according to the exec familiar with internal conversations.
Though it feels like the five-day, 40-hour work week has always been with us, it’s actually a relatively new invention. As far back as 1866, Congress considered mandating a 40-hour work week, but the legislation stalled. In 1926, Henry Ford instituted a 40-hour work week for his employees, believing that was the optimal amount of time for someone to work in a week. But the 40-hour work week was – and is – routinely violated by salaried employees (and their bosses) who believe that working more is working better. “If you think about it, your contract with your employee is not just buying time,” Charlotte Lockhart, an advocate for a four-day work week, told me.

But for the average college athlete playing at a mid-major Division I school, it doesn’t provide much in the way of cash. As ESPN’s Paul Finebaum told me, there are just too many people who care too much about their schools to let that happen.
A screenshot of an alleged report attributed to CNN entitled “Donald Trump dead at 76” has duped some social media users. See you in hell, my man,” one Twitter user commented.
