CNN announced on Wednesday that its chairman and CEO Chris Licht is leaving the media conglomerate after a tumultuous year on the job. While searching for a replacement, CNN will be led by a trio of CNN veterans: Amy Entelis, its executive vice president of talent and content development; Virginia Moseley, its executive vice president of editorial; and Eric Sherling, executive vice president of U.S. programming.
With a two-thirds female leadership triad, CNN joins every other major U.S. news organization as being woman-led. The presidents of all major networks are women; Kimberly Godwin helms ABC News, Rashida Jones heads MSNBC, Rebecca Blumenstein leads NBC News, Wendy McMahon leads CBS News, and Suzanne Scott leads Fox News.
