Thrilled to have Veronica Rocha as our executive editor of the Breaking/Live News team. Veronica’s excellence on breaking news of all varieties makes her the perfect person to lead this great team.
I am thrilled to announce that Allison Hoffman is the new Executive Editor of CNN Politics. Allison is an inspirational and innovative leader, and I’m so proud that she will steer this incredible team.
So happy to have Ji Min Lee back at CNN Politics in a new role to support our explanatory work. Welcome home!
Happy first day CNN, Angela Fritz. Excited to watch you launch our new climate team with John Keefe and Brandon Miller. Welcome!
Thank you Meredith Artley. Proud to do an interview with my wonderful colleague Cathy Straight.
Big congratulations to Kyle Feldscher for his promotion to senior White House editor for CNN Politics. Grateful to Kyle for steering our breaking desk so well at night over the news-packed last few years.
This is not accurate - our CNN crew identified themselves, on live television, immediately as journalists. We thank Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for his swift action this morning to aid in the release of our crew.
A CNN reporter & his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves - a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. The authorities in Minnesota, incl. the Governor, must release the 3 CNN employees immediately.
