As CNN continues to make changes following the departure of Jeff Zucker, the media organization has decided to take its opinion section offline.
the hill reported that a source familiar with the change revealed that “certain writers” received formal notice via email.
“Just a quick note to let you know that CNN has unfortunately decided to close the opinion section,” wrote one opinion editor. “I hope our paths cross somewhere else!” The source did not provide any additional information.
“We made the decision earlier this month to eliminate the opinion vertical on CNN.com; as a result, we will no longer have a standalone opinion section,” a senior CNN executive said.
The organization has been undergoing changes in hopes of saving money while improving its public image following the scandalous exit of former dog Zucker, who was discovered to be having an illicit but consensual relationship with a executive of the women's network. Since then, CEO Mark Thompson has sought ways to make the network profitable and reliable again, though the polarized political climate in the United States has likely made that a difficult task.
