Former CNN Chief Discusses Departure from Network: "Some Were Resistant to Change"

In a revealing interview at the New York Press Club’s Journalism Conference, former CNN CEO Chris Licht discussed the factors that led to his 2023 ouster from the network, attributing it largely to resistance from staff against his attempts to implement significant changes. Licht, who was hired to restore trust in CNN, reflected on the backlash from controversial moments, including a town hall with Donald Trump and a critical Atlantic profile. He acknowledged his inability to build trust among the workforce, which he believed was essential for his vision. Despite defending his decisions during his tenure, he expressed regret over certain strategies and interactions, noting a need for self-reflection on leadership. Following Licht’s departure, CNN has continued to grapple with financial challenges and viewer dissatisfaction, with changes to its programming and personnel occurring under the guidance of new leadership.
