I hope CNN can comeback as a creditable news organization again with the ouster of their CEO and his execs too?!!
Top leaders of CNN’s PR team who oversaw The Atlantic’s disastrous profile of Chris Licht have been fired, TheWrap has confirmed. EVP and global head of communications and marketing Kris Coratti Kelly and head of strategic communications Matt Dornic were among those ousted.
According to an individual familiar with the decision, the network began cleaning out its communications team Wednesday, just hours after the embattled CEO exited amid plunging ratings and growing discontent within his news staff.
Corratti Kelly had joined CNN just 11 months ago after serving as The Washington Post’s communications chief and general manager of Washington Post Live. She tepped into the role after Allison Gust left the company as the organization investigated former anchor Chris Cuomo’s firing.
As for Dornic, he served as a contributor to news platform FishbowlDC, which no longer exists. CNN hired Dornic on as the company’s public relations group, overseeing the channel’s digital teams, including CNN Mobile and CNN.com.
