It wasn't just Licht leaving CNN

CNN’s two top communications leaders are leaving the network just hours after it was announced that CEO Chris Licht was fired, according to CNN’s Oliver Darcy.

“The top two leaders of CNN’s communications department, Kris Coratti Kelly and Matt Dornic, as well as Licht’s chief of staff, Devan Caye, will also depart the company, I’m told,” Darcy tweeted.

The news comes after Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav joined CNN’s editorial morning call to announce Licht would be leaving his role as CEO. Licht is slated to be replaced by CNN executive Amy Entelis, who previously served alongside former CEO Jeff Zucker.
