ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Chris Licht, the former television producer who oversaw a brief and chaotic run as the chairman of CNN, is out at the network, according to a person briefed on the decision. Licht’s 13-month run at CNN was marked by one controversy after another, culminating in his exit earlier this week. He got off to a bumpy start even before he had officially started when he oversaw the shuttering of the costly CNN+ streaming service at the request of its network’s new owners, who were skeptical about a stand-alone digital product. The cuts resulted in scores of layoffs. Licht had vowed to bring a middle-of-the-road balance to CNN’s journalism and when he took the job, he told friends it was a “calling.” But the job would prove much more difficult. Ratings plummeted during Licht’s management and a series of programming miscues — including an ill-fated morning show co-anchored by Don Lemon, as well as organizing a town hall featuring former President Donald Trump that was subject to withering criticism — did little to shore up support with his colleagues. Things deteriorated last week when The Atlantic published a 15,000-word profile extensively documenting Licht’s stormy tenure, including criticism of the network’s pandemic coverage that rankled the network’s rank-and-file.
