CNN boss Jeff Zucker shocked the media world Wednesday by announcing he is resigning from CNN, the company that he’s led since 2013, because of a relationship with a longtime senior colleague that he failed to disclose.
Why it matters: Zucker is one of the most powerful executives in the industry and was a driving force behind CNN’s new push into digital subscriptions.
Details: In a note to staff tweeted by senior media correspondent Brian Stelter, Zucker said that as a part of CNN’s investigation into Chris Cuomo last year, he was asked about a consensual relationship with a colleague, someone he has worked with for more than 20 years.
